Ernst Walter Mayr (1904-2005) was one of the 20th century's leading evolutionary biologists. He was also a renowned taxonomist, tropical explorer, ornithologist, philosopher of biology, and historian of science. His work contributed to the conceptual revolution that led to the modern evolutionary synthesis of Mendelian genetics, systematics, and Darwinian evolution, and to the development of the biological species concept. No one in this century can speak with greater authority on the progress of ideas in biology than Ernst Mayr. And no book has ever established the life sciences so firmly in the mainstream of Western intellectual history as The Growth of Biological Thought. Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life, to modern research into the mechanisms of gene transmission. If you are a biologist or biology student and would like a firm grounding in the historical development of the science, its philosophical underpinnings, and our current evolutionary paradigm, then this book is for you. Ernst Mayr is a very proficient, clear writer, which makes this book a joy to read. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; ix, 974 pages . 1982.

And no book has ever established the life sciences so firmly in the mainstream of Western intellectual history as The Growth of Biological Thought. Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life, to modern research into the mechanisms of gene transmission. If you are a biologist or biology student and would like a firm grounding in the historical development of the science, its philosophical underpinnings, and our current evolutionary paradigm, then this book is for you. Ernst Mayr is a very proficient, clear writer, which makes this book a joy to read. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; ix, 974 pages [Oregon City, OR, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 1982]
