I highly recomend this book. It is everything Martin Gardner says
it is: "an intelectual adventure of the highest sort". Information theory
is applied to DNA and evolution, and, in general, a lot of stimulating ideas
are presented in a clear and concise manner.

I also strongly recommend the Grammatical Man. The way in which the author points out the fallacies in the simple minded probabilistic calculation that are peddled often to prove the "impossibility" of evolution theories is really impressive and very convincing. It is a must read for all those who have been discussing evolution vs. creation in other newsgroups, and of course for anyone else interested in some intellectual stimulation and a refreshing new look at the relationship between Information Theory and Mankind.
