The Neighborhood Project: Putting Evolution to Work in the Real World : Evolution for Everyone
My new book, The Neighborhood Project: Using Evolution to Improve My City, One Block at a Time , was published by Little, Brown last Wednesday and featured on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition today.
