Extinction: The Causes and Consequences of the Disappearance of Species (inscribed to Stephen Jay Gould)
Seller: Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books), La Grande, OR, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First edition. A significant association copy, inscribed by Paul and Anne Ehrlich to Stephen Jay Gould: "For Steve, with warm regards and admiration. Paul and Anne." Anne Ehrlich has added her own name ("and Anne") to the inscription which is otherwise in Paul's hand. This book is an early assessment of the perils of mass extinction, anticipating for example Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction, and it explores not only the geologic history and biology of extinction, but also the ethics, economics, and politics that influence and will be influenced by mass extinction. A particularly nice association as Stephen Jay Gould was a foremost expert in evolutionary theory and is known especially for his theory of "punctuated equilibrium," which holds that evolution operates through times of rapid, extreme change--i.e. extinction--as now during the so-called Anthropocene. Gould is still considered one of the most influential popular scientist writers of the 20th century. He argued forcefully against creationism, describing religion and science as separate fields with different emphases and equal merits. He also was against sociobiology and had a longstanding debate with his Harvard colleague E.O. Wilsonperhaps the only contemporary science writer of his staturewarning against a "deterministic view of human society and human action." He was the winner of the National Book Award in science in 1981 for The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History and a finalist for the same award the following year for The Mismeasure of Man, which did win the National Book Critics Circle Award. He died at 60 of cancer in 2002. Paul Ehrlich is best known for his deeply influential and controversial book The Population Bomb(1968)about overpopulation and resource scarcity, a topic which has defined his career and perhaps overshadowed his distinguished achievements in ecology and conservation biology (including classic butterfly studies). The book was called alarmist by some, but Ehrlich years later said that"perhaps the most serious flaw inThe Bombwas that it was much too optimistic about the future." He co-authored almost all his books with his wife Anne (including The Population Bomb, though she wasn't credited at the publisher's insistence). They've spent their career at Stanford. A near fine book with light bumping to upper corners. In a similarly near fine jacket with that same bumping and streaks of rubbing where paper turns to cloth on the underlying boards. With a handsome letter-press bookplate from a previous bookseller on the front paste down affirming provenance. An important addition to any science or evolution collection.
