|  | The Beauty of the Beastly by Natalie Angier
This Pulitzer Prize-winner's most recent work is arranged in topics according to the energy from which they spring--the life forces that inform and energize her work. She believes that the movement, dance, and play of life supply the heartbeat of knowledge. In seven sections--entitled Loving, Dancing, Slithering, Adapting, Healing, Creating, and Dying--she focuses on what science knows about the living world, in her own witty and exalted language. She deals adeptly with current ideas about biological determinants of animal and human behavior, sexuality, and artistic creativity. AUTHOR: Natalie Angier
