pp. (xxiii), 1433. Illustrated. Thick 4to. 260 mm. Original full cloth binding. The text and binding are in fine, unmarked, condition; the DJ is nearly fine. Sixth printing. Hardbound. Stephen Jay Gould (1941- 2002) was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and book collector. He synthesized these interests to become one of the most influential and widely read writers of popular science. As he spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. the essential ingredients for this - his magnum opus - we never far from his mind. From the dust jacket: "With characteristic attention to detail (he) first describes the content and discusses the history and origins of the three core commitments of classical Darwinism: that natural selection works on organisms, not genes or species; that it is almost exclusively the mechanism of adaptive evolutionary change; and that these changes are incremental, not drastic. Next, he examines the three critiques that currently challenge this classic Darwinian edifice: that selection operates on multiple levels, from the gene to the group; that evolution proceeds by a variety of mechanisms, not just natural selection; and that causes operating at broader scales, including catastrophes, have figured prominently in the course of evolution. Then, in a stunning tour de force that will likely stimulate discussion and debate for decades, Gould proposes his own system for integrating these classical commitments and contemporary critiques into a new structure of evolutionary thought."
