In 1972 Stephen Jay Gould took the scientific world by storm with his paper on punctuated equilibrium, written with Niles Eldredge. Challenging a core assumption of Darwin's theory of evolution, it launched the career of one of the most influential evolutionary biologists of our time--perhaps the best known since Darwin. Now, thirty-five years later, and five years after his untimely death, Punctuated Equilibrium (originally published as the central chapter of Gould's masterwork, The Structure of Evolutionary Theory) offers his only book-length testament on an idea he...

Der falsch vermessene Mensch : Ausgezeichnet mit dem National Book Critics Circle Award; General Nonfiction 1981
ISBN: 9783518281833 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 1988 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Die Messung der menschlichen Intelligenz fing mit buchstäblichen Schädelmessungen im 19. Jahrhundert an und ist zur Messung des Intelligenzquotienten "fortgeschritten". Diese moderne Verdinglichung von Intelligenz führte zu einer subtilen, allumfassenden und falschen Beurteilung nach Rasse, Schicht und Geschlecht: die Unterschiede zwischen den Menschen seien hauptsächlich auf ihr Erbgut zurückzuführen, die biologische Ausstattung sei schicksalsbestimmend. Gould deckt den Kardinalfehler dieser Theorie auf, indem er schildert, wie sie entstanden ist, und die Daten, auf denen sie beruht,...

What Darwin Really Said: An Introduction to His Life and Theory of Evolution
ISBN: 9780805210620 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With a foreword by Stephen Jay Gould First published in 1859, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution inalterably transformed our view of the history of life on the planet--and along with it, how we understand ourselves, our origins, and our place in the world. As we stand before the dawn of a new century, this theory is still the source of heated debate. In medicine, psychology, sociology, and politics, controversial new ideas are being espoused to claim Darwin for their legitimacy, while religious opponents continue to press for their alternative theory of "creationism" to be taught...

"The Ovary of Eve" is a rich and often hilarious account of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century efforts to understand conception. In these early years of the Scientific Revolution, the most intelligent men and women of the day struggled to come to terms with the origins of new life, and one theory preformation sparked an intensely heated debate that continued for over a hundred years.
