Evolution: The Triumph of an Ideaby Carl Zimmer, Stephen Jay Gould , Richard HuttonISBN 0060199067 (0-06-019906-7)
Hardcover, Harpercollins

› Find signed collectible books: 'Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea'Book summary:While its opponents may sneer that "it's just a theory", evolution has transcended that label to take its place as one of the most important "ideas" in human history. Science journalist Carl Zimmer explores its history and future in Evolution: the Triumph of an Idea, companion piece to the epic US Public Broadcast Service series of the same name. Lavishly illustrated with photos of our distant cousins, anatomical diagrams and timelines, the book is as beautiful as it is enlightening. While those closely following the field will find little more here than a well-written summary of the state of the art in 2001, readers who have watched the evolutionary debates from a distance will quickly catch up with the details of the main arguments.
Zimmer's text is fresh and expansive, explaining both the minutiae of comparative anatomy and the grand scale of geological time with equal verve and clarity. Following the trend of turn-of-the-century evolution writers, he is careful to respect the religious beliefs of creationists while firmly insisting that the scientific evidence against them is too compelling to ignore. Touching on biology, philosophy, theology, politics, and nearly every other field of human thought, Evolution: the Triumph of an Idea will inspire its readers with the elegance and importance of Darwin's simple theory. --Rob Lightner [via]

Questioning the Millennium : A Rationalist's Guide to a Precisely Arbitrary Countdownby Stephen Jay GouldISBN 0099765810 (0-09-976581-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Questioning the Millennium : A Rationalist's Guide to a Precisely Arbitrary Countdown'Book summary:In this slender volume, Stephen Jay Gould addresses three questions about the millennium with his typical combination of erudition, warmth, and whimsy: As a calendrical event, what is the concept of a millennium and how has its meaning shifted over time? How did the projection of Christ's 1,000-year reign become a secular measure? And when exactly will the millennium begin--January 1, 2000, or January 2, 2001?
"Our urge to know is so great, but our common errors cut so deep. You just gotta love us," he states disarmingly in the preface. "And you gotta view misguided millennial passion as a primary example of our uniqueness and our absurdity--in other words, of our humanity." Gould's own curiosity about time and calendars was triggered by a 1950 issue of Life magazine, which cut the century in half with its evaluation of what had happened and its prediction of things to come, propelling his third-grade mind to the year 2000. In Questioning the Millennium, Gould promises to make no predictions (other than "an orgy of millennial books"); court no millennial epiphanies; and put forth no theories on the collective angst that typically accompanies a century's end. Instead, he answers the millennial questions which, for him, represent the intersection of undeniable reality (i.e., natural fact) and human interpretation. Gould's questions and learned answers, weaving many historical and scientific facts, are a loving inquiry into the human need for order in a vast and teeming universe. [via]
