Reviews
"A lovely mixture of bizarre facts, nice arguments, clever insights into the workings of evolution and a quality of writing that can make your skin prickle.. . . Gould has given us a feast." -- Nature
"Few writers of popular science have given more pleasure to more readers than Stephen Jay Gould. . . . He packs a clout few science writers can match." -- New York Times Book Review
"Like the master, Darwin, [Gould] has a gift for metaphor-for finding striking analogies that highlight the organizing principles behind Nature." -- Newsday
