Report

'It would be hard to find a more companionable guide to the marvels of locomotory evolution than Matt Wilkinson. In Restless Creatures, the zoologist and writer rehearses twice-told tales of animals becoming bilateral, exiting the sea for the land and evolving flight, but makes them fresh. These are wonderfully adept and informed explanations of locomotory modes - whether in birds, gliding snakes, eels, sharks or a host of fossil vertebrates - and there is not a single vignette that I failed to learn something from.'
