Ernst Mayr / ONE LONG ARGUMENT Charles Darwin and the Genesis Signed 1st ed 1991

Description: Mayr Explains It AllONE LONG ARGUMENT: Charles Darwin and the Genesis of Modern Evolutionary ThoughtBy Ernst Mayr1991Inscribed first edition of this history of evolutionary thought by Mayr, "a man considered by many to be the greatest evolutionist of the century."Fine in fine jacket."Science, in the minds of too many scientists, is considered to be merely a sequence of discoveries or, worse, a steppingstone to technological innovation." Mayr, one of the architects of the synthetic theory of evolution, "must also be credited with almost singlehandedly starting the study of the philosophy of biology, and for developing the study of the history of biology" (Marks). Here, the celebrated (and much-decorated) biologist "elucidate the subtleties of Darwin's thought and that of his contemporaries" in this distillation of Darwin's legacy, one of Mayr's later works. A devotee of Darwin by the time of the writing of this book, ONE LONG ARGUMENT is the culmination of Mayr's decades of study on the topic and the result of his efforts to write a book that is both dedicated exclusively to Darwinism and accessible to "students and lay-people broadly interested in the role of Darwin's thought in the history of ideas."
