Did Darwin Get It Right?: Essays on Games, Sex and Evolution
ISBN: 9780412038211 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 147 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Now in paperback, Did Darwin Get It Right discusses some of the hottest issues in biology today. Its author, the eminently quotable John Maynard Smith, discusses such fascinating conundrums as how life began, whether the brain works like a computer, why most animals and plants reproduce sexually, and how social behavior evolved out of the context of natural selection--a process which would seem to favor selfishness. A humorous and insightful writer, John Maynard Smith has the special ability to convey the excitement of science, its complexity and fascination, without baffling or boring his...

The Origins of Life: From the Birth of Life to the Origin of Language
ISBN: 9780192862099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When John Maynard Smith and Eors Szathmary published The Major Transitions in Evolution, it was seen as a major work in biology. Nature hailed it as a book of "grand and daunting sweep...A splendid and rewarding tour de force." And New Scientist wrote that it captured "the essence of modern biology," calling it "an extremely significant book which, as a bonus, is very readable." Now, in The Origins of Life, Maynard Smith and Szathmary have completely rewritten Transitions to bring their ideas to a wider audience of general readers. Here is a brilliant, original picture of how life evolved on...

Evolution and the Theory of Games
ISBN: 9780521288842 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this 1982 book, the theory of games, first developed to analyse economic behaviour, is modified so that it can be applied to evolving populations. John Maynard Smith's concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy is relevant whenever the best thing for an animal or plant to do depends on what others are doing. The theory leads to testable predictions about the evolution of behaviour, of sex and genetic systems, and of growth and life history patterns. This book contains a full account of the theory, and of the data relevant to it. The account is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate...

The Major Transitions in Evolution
ISBN: 9780198502944 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the history of life there have been several major changes in the way genetic information is organized and transmitted from one generation to the next. These transitions include the origin of life itself, the first eukaryotic cells, reproduction by sexual means, the appearance of multicellular plants and animals, the emergence of cooperation and of animal societies, and the unique language ability of humans. This ambitious book provides the first unified discussion of the full range of these transitions. The authors highlight the similarities between different transitions--between the...
