Bully for Brontosaurus: Reflections in Natural History by Stephen Jay Gould
Provocative and delightfully discursive essays on natural history. . . . Gould is the Stan Musial of essay writing. He can work himself into a corkscrew of ideas and improbable allusions paragraph after paragraph and then, uncoiling, hit it with such power that his fans know they are experiencing the game of essay writing at its best.--John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review
Daring and thought-provoking . . . A lively retelling of the very real conflict between creationism and evolution in America.
-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ILLUMINATING . . . A RICH TAPESTRY OF FACT AND ANECDOTE . . . [Stephen Jay Gould] engages us with evident delight in the subtle dance of language and ideas. . . . Reading it, we feel ourselves in the great tradition of Montaigne and his successors.
-Los Angeles Times ENTERTAINING . . . GOULD MAKES HIS POINTS WITH AUTHORITY, INSIGHT, AND HIS TRADEMARK GOOD HUMOR.
-The Christian Science Monitor
