Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. "Gloriously accessible. . . . A book as lovely as the creatures it depicts. There's much here for specialists (lepidopterists; art historians) but lay readers too can savor an astonishingly beautiful 'pre-industrial butterfly world.'"-- Library Journal The first publication of Jones's Icones , a strikingly beautiful and significant achievement in natural history. William Jones's Icones is one of the most scientifically important and visually stunning works on butterflies and moths ever created. Icones contains finely delineated paintings of more than 760 species of Lepidoptera , many of which it described for the first time, marking a critical moment in the study of natural history. Yet until now, it has never been published--the only existing manuscript copy is housed in the archives of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. With Iconotypes , Jones's work is published for the first time, accompanied by expert commentary and contextual essays, and featuring annotated maps showing where each specimen was discovered. Between the early 1780s and 1810, Jones, a wine merchant, painted in painstaking detail hundreds of species of Lepidoptera , drawing from his own collection and the collections of prominent amateur naturalists. For every specimen, Jones included the known species name, the collection, and the geographical location in which it was found. In this enhanced facsimile, Jones's historical references are clarified and modern taxonomic names are provided together with notes on which paintings serve as iconotypes. Contextual commentary by specialist entomologist Richard I. Vane-Wright gives an account of Jones's life, his motivation for collecting butterflies and creating the Icones , and evaluates the significance of Jones's work. This lavish volume intersperses contemporary maps showing the locations of each specimen, expert essays on the study of lepidoptery since Ancient Egyptian times, the development of taxonomy after Linnaeus, the roles of collectors and natural history artists during the late 1700s to mid-1800s, and the steep decline of butterflies and moths over the last fifty years. Iconotypes is a beautiful collector's object for fans of natural history and illustrations of butterflies and moths, as well as artists, designers, and bibliophiles.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A unique exploration of teleonomy-also known as "evolved purposiveness"-as a major influence in evolution by a broad range of specialists in biology and the philosophy of science.A unique exploration of teleonomy-also known as "evolved purposiveness"-as a major influence in evolution by a broad range of specialists in biology and the philosophy of science.The evolved purposiveness of living systems, termed "teleonomy" by chronobiologist Colin Pittendrigh, has been both a major outcome and causal factor in the history of life on Earth. Many theorists have appreciated this over the years, going back to Lamarck and even Darwin in the nineteenth century. In the mid-twentieth century, however, the complex, dynamic process of evolution was simplified into the one-way, bottom-up, single gene-centered paradigm widely known as the modern synthesis. In Evolution "On Purpose," edited by Peter A. Corning, Stuart A. Kauffman, Denis Noble, James A. Shapiro, Richard I. Vane-Wright, and Addy Pross, some twenty theorists attempt to modify this reductive approach by exploring in depth the different ways in which living systems have themselves shaped the course of evolution.Evolution "On Purpose" puts forward a more inclusive theoretical synthesis that goes far beyond the underlying principles and assumptions of the modern synthesis to accommodate work since the 1950s in molecular genetics, developmental biology, epigenetic inheritance, genomics, multilevel selection, niche construction, physiology, behavior, biosemiotics, chemical reaction theory, and other fields. In the view of the authors, active biological processes are responsible for the direction and the rate of evolution. Essays in this collection grapple with topics from the two-way "read-write" genome to cognition and decision-making in plants to the niche-construction activities of many organisms to the self-making evolution of humankind. As this collection compellingly shows, and as bacterial geneticist James Shapiro emphasizes, "The capacity of living organisms to alter their own heredity is undeniable." "Explores the theoretical implications of teleonomy, an evolved purposeness exhibited by living systems, and how it has shaped natural selection and biological complexity"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
