Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. ABOUT THE BOOK: Spanning evolutionary science from its inception to its latest findings, from discoveries and data to philosophy and history, this book is the most complete, authoritative, and inviting one-volume introduction to evolutionary biology available. Clear, informative, and comprehensive in scope, Evolution opens with a series of major essays dealing with the history and philosophy of evolutionary biology, with major empirical and theoretical questions in the science, from speciation to adaptation, from paleontology to evolutionary development (evo devo), and concluding with essays on the social and political significance of evolutionary biology today.A second encyclopedic section travels the spectrum of topics in evolution with concise, informative, and accessible entries on individuals from ­Aristotle and Linneaus to Louis Leakey and Jean Lamarck; from T. H. Huxley and E. O. Wilson to Joseph Felsenstein and Motoo Kimura; and on subjects from altruism and amphibians to evolutionary psychology and Piltdown Man to the Scopes trial and social Darwinism. Readers will find the latest word on the history and philosophy of evolution, the nuances of the science itself, and the intricate interplay among evolutionary study, religion, philosophy, and ­society.Appearing at the beginning of the Darwin Year of 2009?the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species?this volume is a fitting tribute to the science Darwin set in motion. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: MICHAEL RUSE is Lucyle T.

Throughout his life he wrote on many aspects of natural history, but he was particularly entranced by the wildlife and ecosystems of Florida, where he lived for more than fifty years. This captivating book - a collection of essays on Florida - provides memorable details and anecdotes about the flora, fauna, and humans that have inhabited this colorful landscape. Carr describes the eating rituals of the snakebird; the personality, courtship, and copulation of box turtles; the way skinks (a type of lizard) use their tails when foraging; and the characteristics of Spanish moss. He ponders why fish migrate to create "jubilees" in certain streams, the effects of disappearing ponds on the plants and animals that live in them, and the captivating activities of alligators and alligator snapping turtles. Carr's essays, many but not all previously published in such magazines as Audubon, Field and Stream, and Wildlife Conservation, are a kind of testimony to and celebration of an exuberant natural landscape that is now seriously threatened. Archie Carr was graduate research professor of zoology at the University of Florida, Gainesville. During his illustrious career he won numerous awards and honors, including the Daniel Giraud Elliott Medal of the National Academy of Sciences, the O. Henry Memorial Award for short-story writing, the Hal Borland Award of the National Audubon Society, and the designation of Eminent Ecologist by the Ecological Society of America. His many books include Ulendo, So Excellent a Fishe, and The Windward Road, which won the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing. -- Contents: Foreword; Preface; Maps; Wewa Pond; Bird and the Behemoth; Jubilee; Sticky Heels; A Florida Picnic; All the Way Down upon the Suwannee River; Suwannee River Sturgeon; An Introduction to the Herpetology of Florida; Florida Vignettes; Tails of Lizards; Alligator Country; A Subjective Key to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida; Hound Magic; Carnivorous Plants; Cold-Blooded Fraternity; Living with an Alligator; Moss Forest; In Praise of Snakes; Landscapes of Florida; Armadillo Dilemma; Water Hyacinths; Triple-Clutchers; Gulf-Island Cottonmouths; A Dubious Future; Eden Changes; Notes; Index.
