<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Lisa Edwards wandered into a pet shop on Halloween, well aware that the last thing she needed was a dog. But when she laid eyes on Boo, the runt of an abandoned litter, something compelled her to make him her own. The dunce of obedience class with poor eyesight and a wobbly gait, Boo was the least likely of heroes. Yet with his unflappable spirit and boundless love, Boo has changed countless lives through his work as a therapy dog. He has helped a mute six-year-old to speak, coaxed movement from a paralyzed girl, and stirred life into a ninety-four-year-old nun with Alzheimer's. Ultimately, Boo gave Lisa the greatest gift of all - faith in herself."--Publisher's description.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>The International Bestseller</strong> <p/><strong>The 'feel good' book of the season...

He provides the answers with gentle humor and easy-to-understand explanations. Along the way he also shares plenty of curious facts that, if you're like me, you'll feel compelled to share with family and friends."<br /><strong>-Alex Boese, author of <em>Elephants on Acid</em></strong><br /><br /> "An exhilarating clamber through some of the remoter branches of the human family tree. Alex Bezzerides reminds us that our great-grand-ancestors included fish and quadrupeds as well as the tree-climbing apes that more readily spring to mind. <em>Evolution Gone Wrong</em> is the fascinating tale of our imperfections: how millions of years of evolution created a species more intelligent than any other, but one blighted by faulty eyesight, back pain and an unfortunate propensity for choking on its food."<br /><strong>--Thomas Morris, <em>The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth</em></strong><br /> <br /> "You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll ache all over while reading this book."<br /><strong>--Nick Caruso, coauthor of <em>Does It Fart? The Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence</em></strong><br /> <br /> "From opposable thumbs to flat feet to the pangs of childbirth, Bezzerides takes us on an unforgettable journey through this twisted miracle of evolution we call 'our body.'" <strong>--Spike Carlsen, author of <em>A Walk Around the Block</em></strong><br /> <p/> "A fantastic, informative book... I recommend <em>Evolution Gone Wrong</em> highly to anyone wishing to grasp the mix of biological and cultural forces at work on our anatomy today." <em><strong>-NPR</strong></em> <br><br />"Entertaining... A timely reminder that we, as a species, may be outgrowing our evolutionary history and the biology we are constructed from."<em> <strong>-The Wall Street Journal</strong></em> <br /><br /> "Alex Bezzerides... is fascinated with the imperfect system that is the human body, and he explores and explains it adroitly in his fascinating, funny new book." <em><strong>-Salon</strong></em> <br><br>
