These essays have entranced millions, from company presidents to penitentiary inmates, with the wonders of evolution..One of the joys of reading about good science is the chance not only to observe how scientific theory works, but also to participate in the workings of the mind behind the works. In Gould's I Have Landed...the reader will find such joy in abundance. -- Tim Flannery New York Review of Books 20020523
