Adaptation is a highly-technical presentation by researchers Culver, Thomas Kane, and Daniel Fong on the study of a specific cave-dweller, the crustacean Gammarus minus. The first few chapters of the book, along with the last couple, are highly readable and interesting, but for the casual reader the rest of the book is not approachable as the authors present dozens of pages of data collected during their studies.

While I don't recommend this book to anyone who wants to sit and enjoy a read, there is an amazing amount of value and detail here for a reader needing highly-specific data in the field of evolutionary biology. As a pleasurable read, this book is not appropriate, but as a reference resource, it offers a fantastic presentation. Three stars.
