Biology Books by Stephen Jay Gould

Book Review, © Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

Dr. Gould died last year. Besides being a leading theorist of evolution, he was a highly entertaining author of popular books about all of biology. Each chapter is an essay on some phase of biology (and sometimes another subject) which seemed to delight Dr. Gould, and is sure to delight the reader. In some ways, he was the best of all science authors.
