Paperback octavo, very good condition, figures, tables, edges & pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 328 pp. A collection of new and original essays, all of which were inspired by Maynard Smith's writings.

Description:
Sydney, Millers Point: Pier 9 / Murdoch Books, 2008. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, thick card covers (with flaps), minor edgewear. 205 pp. Ross Honeywill relates the story of Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck who created the first theory of evolution in terms of the inheritance of acquired characters (although replaced by the theory of Charles Darwin 50 years later). It is the story of Lamarck's own travels in treacherous times, and misuse by Lysenko and Soviet science. It is mainly the recent story of the controversial Australian immunologist Ted Steele, who decoded evidence that help put Lamarck back on the world stage. (The new field of epigenetics is now taking its place as an adjunct to the standard theory of Darwinian evolution.) Associated bookmark included.

Description:
London: Jonathan Cape, 1996. 1st U.K. ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in good plus dustjacket), figures (including drawings), minimal edgewear. 244 pp. The noted zoologist argues that progress and increasing complexity are not inevitable features of the evolution of life on Earth. This book states that if we wish to see grandeur in life, we must discard our selfish and anthropocentric view of evolution and learn to see it as Darwin did, as the unfathomably rich source of 'endless forms most beautiful and wonderful'.
