Eric Widmaier鈥檚 breezily entitled Why Geese Don鈥檛 Get Obese is one of that
well-known genre, the 鈥渨onders of nature鈥� book. Evolutionary puzzles such as why
dolphins don鈥檛 suffer from bends are treated in a pleasing, non-didactic way.
The writing is straightforward, but he doesn鈥檛 lose his grip on the wonder of
the natural world while giving the information, which makes for entertainment.
