Gould, Stephen Jay
The Flamingo's Smile: Reflections in Natural History Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. W W Norton & Co Inc 1985 0393022285 / 9780393022285 Soft cover Very Good Book
"THE FLAMINGO'S SMILE is about history," writes the author in this volume of essays, "...and about what it means to say that life is the product of a contingent past, not the inevitable and predictable result of simple, timeless laws of nature. Quirkiness and meaning are my two not-so-contradictory themes." 070262

Gould, Stephen Jay
THE MISMEASURE OF MAN and THE PANDA'S THUMB N,Y. W W Norton & Co Inc 1980 Soft Cover Very Good Ex-Library
Ex-Library 1980-1981. Set : two books in a slipcase.THE MISMEASURE OF MAN 337 pp and THE PANDA'S THUMB 343 pp. With his controversial opinions and larger-than-life personality, Stephen Jay Gould did for evolutionary biology what Carl Sagan did for astronomy. The Harvard paleontologist's ideas lit a spark within the scientific community, but his bestselling works also managed to engage the wider public. Through his readable and provocative works, Gould garnered acclaim as an author who could write intelligently -- and intelligibly -- about some of his field’s most arcane issues and questions. In ''The Mismeasure of Man,'' his most significant book yet, Mr. Gould grasps the supporting pillars of the temple in a lethal grip of historical scholarship and analysis - and brings the whole edifice crashing down....It takes a master pen to bring history alive, and the chronological unfolding of this tale is told in a somewhat pedestrian manner. Its style stands in obvious contrast to Mr. Gould's earlier writings, though it still shows the flash of humor and the felicitous phrase. But ''The Mismeasure of Man'' demands a great deal from the reader. To understand the conceptual fallacy at the heart of the mathematical technique of factor analysis, which itself is a prerequisite for understanding the history of intelligence testing, requires some very hard work indeed - even though Mr. Gould attempts most valiantly to make his material accessible. -- New York Times 075045
