New York Harmony Books 1996 First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated] Hardcover Bob Roman (Chart Illustrations) and Rhonda Roland Very good in Very good jacket [14], 244 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. DJ is price clipped. Signed by author on fep. Stephen Jay Gould (September 10, 1941-May 20, 2002) was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of science. He was also one of the most influential and widely read authors of popular science of his generation. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Gould's most significant contribution to evolutionary biology was the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which he developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972. The theory proposes that most evolution is characterized by long periods of evolutionary stability, which is infrequently punctuated by swift periods of branching speciation. In evolutionary theory he opposed strict selectionism, sociobiology as applied to humans, and evolutionary psychology. Derived from a Kirkus review: Now hear this: Evolution is not progressive. We (humans) are not the be-all and end-all of nature's plan. In this volume Gould elaborates on this theme. Among the examples he advances is one that should prove dear to baseball fans: Why are there no.400 hitters anymore? The answer requires looking not at batting but at how the game of baseball has varied over time. There has been a ...

NY: Harmony Books, Date: 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. Two books: The first, in wraps, an advanced uncorrected proof of Stephen Jay Gould's Full House: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin. Inscribed to Oliver Sacks on the title page: "For Oliver, with best wishes & admiration, Steve, Stephen Jay Gould." Full House "explodes our misconceptions about the nature of progress, the nature of excellence, and the nature of nature," reexamining trends that are seen as progress or anti-progress and often flipping them on their head. As evidence it examines everything from baseball to natural history. It's a hybrid work of science and iconoclastic intellectualism that showcases Gould's  rare ability to write across disciplines, with erudition and expertise, for a general audience though his scientific research was in evolutionary biology (specifically snails). A very good or better copy with trace edge wear, toning to pages, and a few smudges to cover (which may wipe off), along with a "granny smith" apple sticker stuck to the front wrap at lower left (a cool addition, we think).  Together with The Richness of Life: The Essential Stephen Jay Gould. NY: WW Norton, 2006. A posthumous collection edited by biologist Stephen Rose and with a foreword by Oliver Sacks. This copy is also from the library of Oliver Sacks, his complimentary copy from the publisher. With a handsome bookseller's bookplate marking the book as from Sacks's library. As the jacket ...
