Opis produktu

Stephen Jay Gould is the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Professor of Geology at Harvard University and the Vincent Astor Visiting Professor of Biology at New York University. His publications include Ever Since Darwin Wonderful Life Eight Little Piggies Lifes Grandeur and most recently Questioning the Millennium.Stephen Jay Goulds writing remains the modern standard by which popular science writing is judged. Ever since the last 1970s his monthly essay in Natural History and his fulllength books have bridged the yawning gap between science and the wider culture. This fascinating new collection of essays contains some of Goulds bestw riting on a variety of subjects ranging from Leonardo da Vinci and Martin Luther to fossils and the history of science. As always these essays brillantly display his gift for colloquial and vivid explanation and include fascinating oddities from the natural world and the printed word.
