DESCRIPTION:Every animal has a weapon of one sort or another\, but the ove
 rwhelming majority of weapons stay small.  Yet\, sprinkled through the tre
 e of life are species where weapons become extreme. Occasionally\, human m
 anufactured weapons also evolve to extremes.  Emlen reveals that the same 
 critical conditions trigger arms races in both cases\, and the most crucia
 l prerequisite is duels.  A journey that begins with biology becomes the s
 tory of all weapons\, as Emlen discusses beetles and battleships\, crabs a
 nd the Cold War.
