Review:
"Let me say that there is much in THE STRUCTURE OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY that rewards careful study and will be worthwhile reading for evolutionists of all persuasions. There is value in having Gould's own ideas collected in one place. ...Having said this, however, apart from exhaustion, my main emotion on coming to the end of THE STRUCTURE OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY is sadness. Sadness that one as gifted as Stephen Jay Gould has so let his emotions outweigh his strengths and achievements."
Michael Ruse, Globe and Mail (Toronto), 03/23/2002
Review:"Stephen Jay Gould doesn't hold anything back in this remarkable and important book....[I]ts formidable length and density could scare away all but the most informed and stubborn readers. This would be a shame. If you have a serious interest in evolutionary theory, you should at least familiarize yourself with the book's essence....[A]s anyone familiar with Gould's writing knows, serious readers will be regularly and amply rewarded for their efforts."
Mark Davis, Ruminator Review, Spring 2002

The Structure of Evolutionary Theory (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780674006133) Gould, Stephen Jay Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS, United States, 2002. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 254 x 162 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The world's most revered and eloquent interpreter of evolutionary ideas offers here a work of explanatory force unprecedented in our time--a landmark publication, both for its historical sweep and for its scientific vision.With characteristic attention to detail, Stephen Jay Gould first describes the content and discusses the history and origins of the three core commitments of classical Darwinism: that natural selection works on organisms, not genes or species; that it is almost exclusively the mechanism of adaptive evolutionary change; and that these changes are incremental, not drastic. Next, he examines the three critiques that currently challenge this classic Darwinian edifice: that selection operates on multiple levels, from the gene to the group; that evolution proceeds by a variety of mechanisms, not just natural selection; and that causes operating at broader scales, including catastrophes, have figured prominently in the course of evolution.Then, in a stunning "tour de force" that will likely stimulate discussion and debate for decades, Gould proposes his own system for integrating these classical commitments and contemporary critiques into a new structure of evolutionary thought.In 2001 the Library of Congress named Stephen Jay Gould one of America's eighty-three Living Legends--people who embody the "quintessentially American ideal of individual creativity, conviction, dedication, and exuberance." Each of these qualities finds full expression in this peerless work, the likes of which the scientific world has not seen--and may not see again--for well over a century.
