I really enjoyed reading this review of the major transitions in vertebrate body plan. Shubin's account of the discovery of Tiktaalik (a transition fossil highlighting the transition from water to land) is a wonderful addition a very readable history book. To anyone who is generally interested in the tree of life and learning more about major evolutionary steps I would also recommend "The Ancestor's Tale" by Richard Dawkins.
