Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes by Stephen Jay Gould

Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes by Stephen Jay Gould

Over a century after Darwin published the Origin of Species, Darwinian theory is in a "vibrantly healthy state," writes Stephen Jay Gould, its most engaging and illuminating exponent. Exploring the "peculiar and mysterious particulars of nature," Gould introduces the reader to some of the many and wonderful manifestations of evolutionary biology.

"Delectable. . . A happy evolutionary tour de force. Gould is a true natural philosopher in the grand tradition of the Enlightenment. Read, learn, and enjoy." -- Washington Post Book World
"Lively and fascinating. . . . [Gould] writes beautifully about science and the wonders of nature." -- Tracy Kidder

Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) was the Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Professor of Geology at Harvard University. He published over twenty books, received the National Book and National Book Critics Circle Awards, and a MacArthur Fellowship.
