"A remarkable achievement by any measure…. [Gould] is a writer of great natural wit, and his sophistication and learning range far beyond…biology."—Chicago Tribune
Ever Since Darwin, Stephen Jay Gould's first book, has sold more than a quarter of a million copies. Like all of Gould's succeeding collections, it brings the art of the scientific essay to unparalleled heights. Its genius? Gould's ability to use his knowledge of the world, including popular culture, to illuminate science. 15 illustrations. [via]
