The Evolution of Cooperation

This book is a written based on a collection of scientific research papers, and it shows. Not that I have anything against research papers - I'm a scientist myself - but they can be dull and if you turn one of them into a book you need to take extra care that the book is not so.

I would have given 3.5 stars if possible because the content of the book is rather very good. I came across the concept first in The Selfish Gene, which is based in part on this book, but Dawkins is a much better writer and makes it extremely interesting. On the other hand this book is EXTREMELY repetitive. In every chapter he keeps going back to same examples and experiments when there's no need.

Overall a good educational book if a little dull due to the writing style.
