In this book, part autobiography and part textbook, Martin Nowak presents evidence for his claim that cooperation is the master architect of evolution.
The most controversial part is his take on kin selection, which you can read about in this hotly debated 2010 Nature paper with Tarnita & E.O. WIlson entitled "The Evolution of Eusociality".
