In Climbing Mount Improbable, acclaimed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explores the complex mechanisms of evolution with clarity, wit, and visual imagination. This Folio Society edition presents the text in a beautifully bound volume, enriched by original sketches from Lalla Ward and striking photographic plates.

Through a series of elegant arguments and metaphors—most famously, the titular "Mount Improbable"—Dawkins demonstrates how complex biological features can arise gradually through natural selection. A definitive work for readers interested in genetics, morphology, and the logical beauty of evolutionary theory.
