In his extraordinary book, Mayr fully explored, synthesized, and evaluated mans knowledge about the nature of animal species and the part they play in the process of evolution. Now, in this long-awaited abridged edition, Mayrs definitive work is made available to the interested nonspecialist, the college student, and the general reader.
Evolution would not strike many nonscientific readers as a red-hot topicThe general impression is that Darwin settled all that in 1859… That isn’t so, as Mayr’s book testifies with a vengeance… This is a lovely, craggy book…something of a monument to an age of reason that now seems to be ending. * Book World *
A masterful exposition of what has come to be called the synthetic theory of biological evolution…strongly recommended as a text and a reference book, and for the general reader who wants to acquire a serious understanding of biological evolution. * American Scientist *
A magistral book…certainly the most important study of evolution that has appeared in many years—perhaps since the publication of On the Origin of Species. -- Sir Julian Huxley (on Animal Species and Evolution)
