Description:
New York: Columbia University Press, 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. The paleontologist and curator at the American Museum of Natural History explains evolutionary theory for a non-scientific audience. 199 pages. First edition (first printing). A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with a couple of tears to the top edge. This is a scientific association copy of the first rank. Newell inscribed this book to his most famous graduate student, Stephen Jay Gould: "To Steve Gould my very best wishes and gratitude for showing the way! Norman D. Newell 1/25/83." Newell was Gould's dissertation advisor at Columbia University and was closely affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History, for whose magazine Steven Jay Gould wrote most of the essays that were collected in his books. The inscription likely refers to Gould's decades-long efforts to explain evolution and its concepts to a general audience, through his books and lectures. In one of Gould's best books for a…

Description:
San Francisco: Freeman Cooper & Company, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 250 pages. The first publication of Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould's paper "Punctuated Equilibria: An Alternative to Phyletic Gradualism." This was one of Gould's major contributions to evolutionary theory and it remains a controversial one to this day. Gould and Eldredge propose that evolution is not gradual, rather, they argue, species develop rapidly, followed by long periods without marked change. In his essays, Gould wrote that science was too biased toward definitive results, when the real world and most studies produced no results. "Over and over again in my career I have bashed my head against this wall of nonreporting... When Niles Eldridge and I proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium in evolution we did so to grant stasis in phylogenetic lineages the status of 'worth reporting'-for stasis had previously been ignored as nonevidence of nonevolution, though all paleontologists knew its high…

Description:
Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A synthesis of three decades of study and writing about evolutionary theory. Gould, ever the historian of science, traces the development of evolution in order to make his case that biologists put too much emphasis on the "design" embodied in natural selection and too little on random chance. Gould, fighting cancer for a second time, pushed to finish this book, and it seems likely that it would have been shorter if he had had more time. The book is written for a general audience, providing Gould's unequaled clear explanations of complex theories while pushing the boundaries of contemporary science on the strength of his ideas. This book is one of Gould's most widely cited works. The Structure of Evolutionary Theory was published two months before Gould died, on May 20, 2002. It is now in its fifth or sixth printing and has been cited some 6000 times in the scientific…
