Review
"Elliott Sober has made extraordinarily important contributions to our understanding of biological problems in evolutionary biology and causality. The Nature of Selection is a major contribution to understanding epistemological problems in evolutionary theory. I predict that it will have a long-lasting place in the literature."
—Richard C. Lewontin, Harvard University
"Elliott Sober's book strikes me as first rate. In fact, I think it would not be mere speculation to predict that it will transform the field. There has been nothing comparable to it, either in terms of sophisticated treatment of the biological issues or in terms of philosophical understanding."
—Philip Kitcher, The University of Minnesota
