Summary

More than any other modern scientists, Stephen Jay Gould has opened up to millions the wonders of evolutionary biology. His genius as an essayist lies in his unmatched ability to use his knowledge of the world, including popular culture, to illuminate the realm of science.

Ever Since Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould's first book, has sold more than a quarter of a million copies. Like all succeeding collections by this unique writer, it brings the art of the scientific essay to unparalleled heights.

Very interesting book

Great book with lots of explanations of ideas and theories. I loved the round up of opinions of the day relative to the scientific state to justify conclusions. How did the pronunciation of Edinburgh get through? Edinburg Edinberg.

A classic of Neo Darwinism

I welcomed the publication of this Neo Darwinian classic. The science may have moved on in places but wit and inventiveness still sparkles. And the withering debunking of biological determinism is still relevant.
