Stephen Jay Gould: Reflections on His View of Life
Patricia Kelley, Robert Ross, Warren D. Allmon
Considered by many
during his lifetime as the most well-known scientist in the world,
Stephen Jay Gould left an enormous and influential body of work. A
Harvard professor of paleontology, evolutionary biology, and the history
of science, Gould provided major insights into our understanding of the
history of life. He helped to reinvigorate paleontology, launch
macroevolution on a new course, and provide a context in which the
biological developmental stages of an organism's embryonic growth could
be integrated into an understanding of evolution.
This book is a set of
reflections on the many areas of Gould's intellectual life by the people
who knew and understood him best: former students and prominent close
collaborators. Mostly a critical assessment of his legacy, the chapters
are not technical contributions but rather offer a combination of
intellectual bibliography, personal memoir, and reflection on Gould's
diverse scientific achievements. The work includes the most completebibliography
of his writings to date and offers a multi-dimensional view of Gould's
life-work not to be found in any other volume.
