Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Award-winning, bestselling author, evolutionary biologist, and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould takes the art of the essay to an unprecedented height of excellence in this vibrant new collection of writings on science and natural history. From fads to fungus, baseball to beeswax, Gould always circles back to the great themes of time, change, and history, carrying readers home to the centering theme of evolution. Illustrations. Book News Annotation:A collection of 34 essays, most originally published in Natural
History magazine, in which the renowned evolutionary biologist and
paleontologist muses on evolution, time, change, and history. Some
intriguing topics addressed include why images of snails were printed
backward in 17th century treatises on conchology and why
schoolchildren are falsely taught that in the Middle Ages people
thought the earth was flat.
