| Description: |
"Gould himself is a rare and wonderful animal-a member of the endangered species known as the ruby-throated polymath... [He] is a leading theorist on large-scale patterns in evolution ... [and] one of the sharpest and most humane thinkers in the sciences." --David Quammen, New York Times Book Review |
| Synopsis: |
Evolutionary theory is the theme that binds together these essays on such seemingly disparate topics as the feeding habits of flamingos, flowers and snails that change from male to female and sometimes back again, and the extinction from baseball of the .400 hitter. |
