- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Just didn't do much for me. Maybe if I'd had more education in these fields.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gould's fourth essays volume, which includes some real crackers. The title essay is a great read, for example. As usual, though, some have aged better than others.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting essays, as always, about how science works, evolution and natural history. Reading these essays is a pleasure, tinged with regret that Stephen Jay Gould is no longer writing them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is another collection of essays loosely based around evolutionary biology (with some inevitable baseball references).This is what the author is best at. He like language and uses it in his own verbose and slightly pompous manner but once again we can see that he doesn't seem to have a nasty bone in his body.Having now seen him talk on you tube I can picture him reading the book to me, slightly out of breath, fiddling with his glasses dramatically and pausing for effect quite often. This only helps the enjoyment all the more. Some of the material covered is getting old now (1987) so bear that in mind, but I particularly enjoyed some of the "period" references e.g. the dino-killing impact theory.If you haven't read Gould then this might be a decent place to start - if you have read him then this is a cracking example of him in the medium he does best.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love Gould, as usual. I can never remember which essays are in which - this is neither one of his first ones, where he's somewhat more accepting of standard stories, nor one of his later ones where his cancer becomes a frequent player, so I have no idea which of his stories are in here. But I enjoyed them! Not the first time I've read this one, either. He always makes me think, even on multiple re-reading.
