Copertina di Stephen Jay Gould: An Urchin in the Storm: Essays about Books and Ideas (ePUB)

Ranging as far as the fox and as deep as the hedgehog (the urchin of his title), Stephen Jay Gould expands on geology, biological determinism, ‘cardboard Darwinism, ‘ and evolutionary theory in this sparkling collection.
