Hardback. Zustand: Good. zur zweiten Auflage Als 1979 die erste Auflage dieses Buches erschien, erlebte die Evolutionsbiologie eine viel ausgepragte re Blutezeit als in den vorangegangenen Jahrzehnten. Seit damals ist ihr Einfluss auf den gesamten Bereich der Biologie noch starker, noch fordernder geworden. Ein evolutionarer Ansatz ist inzwischen obligatorisch in der Okologie und in der Verhaltensforschung; Palaontologie und Systematik sind starker geworden und haben begonnen, ihre Bande zur Populationsbiologie zu erforschen; evolutionare Mor phologie, Physiologie und Entwicklungsbiologie erleben eine Renaissance; das Gebiet der Molekularevolution ist den Kinderschuhen entwachsen; der jahrliche Umfang an Informationen und Theorien uber alte und neue Themen hat enorm zugenommen, und in der Folge sind neue Fachzeitschriften entstanden, um diesem Bedurfnis gerecht zu werden. Fand ich es damals uberheblich, ein Lehrbuch uber Evolutionsbiologie vorzulegen, so hat sich dieses Gefuhl nicht verandert, eher noch verstarkt. Ohne die Geduld von Kollegen, die ich bei meiner Informationsbeschaffung schamlos belastigt habe, hatte ich die Flut von Informationen und Ideen vermutlich kaum bewaltigen konnen. In der Biologie, und in der Wissenschaft ganz allgemein, ist die Entdeckung eines Gegenstandes und die Geburt und das Wachstum von Ideen immer eine spannende Angelegenheit.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. From Darwin onward, it has been second nature for evolutionary biologists to think comparatively because comparisons establish the generality of evolutionary phenomena. Do large genomes slow down development? What lifestyles select for large brains? Are extinction rates related to body size? These are all questions for the comparative method, and this book is about how such questions can be answered. The first chapter elaborates on suitable questions for the comparative approach and shows how it complements other approaches to problem-solving in evolution. The second chapter identifies the biological causes of similarity among closely related species for almost any observed character. The third chapter discusses methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees and ancestral character states. The fourth chapter sets out to develop statistical tests that will determine whether different characters that exist in discrete states show evidence for correlated evolution. Chapter 5 turns to comparative analyses of continuously varying characters. Chapter 6 looks at allometry to exemplify the themes and methods discussed earlier, while the last chapter looks to future development of the comparative approach in both molecular and organismic biology.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In Science, more than elsewhere, a word is expected to mean what it says, nothing more, nothing less. But scientific discourse is neither different nor separable from ordinary language - meanings are multiple, ambiguities ubiquitous. Keywords in Evolutionary Biology grapples with this problem in a field especially prone to the confusion engendered by semantic imprecision. Written by historians, philosophers, and biologists - including, among others, Stephen Jay Gould, Diane Paul, John Beatty Robert Richards, Richard Lewontin, David Sloan Wilson, Peter Bowler and Richard Dawkins - these essays identify and explicate those terms in evolutionary biology which, though commonly used, are plagued by multiple concurrent and historically varying meanings. By clarifying these terms in their many guises, the editors Evelyn Fox Keller and Elisabeth Lloyd hope to focus attention on major scholarly problems in the field - problems sometimes obscured, sometimes revealed, and sometimes even created by the use of such equivocal words. Competition, adaptation, and fitness, for instance, are among the terms whose multiple meanings have led to more than merely semantic debates in evolutionary biology. Exploring the complexity of keywords and clarity their role in prominent issues in the field, this book will prove invaluable to scientists and philosophers trying to come to terms with evolutionary theory; it will also serve as a useful guide to future research into the ways in which scientific language works.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A sex guide for all living things and a hilarious natural history in the form of letters to and answers from the preeminent sexpert in all creation. Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation is a unique guidebook to sex. It reveals, for example, when necrophilia is acceptable and who should commit bestiality with whom. It discloses the best time to have a sex change, how to have a virgin birth, and when to eat your lover. It also advises on more mundane matters--such as male pregnancy and the joys of a detachable penis. Entertaining, funny, and marvelously illuminating, the book comprises letters from all creatures worried about their bizarre sex lives to the wise Dr. Tatiana (a.k.a. Olivia Judson), the only sex columnist in creation with a prodigious knowledge of evolutionary biology. Fusing natural history with advice to the lovelorn, blending wit and rigor, she is able to reassure her anxious correspondents that although the acts they describe might sound appalling and unnatural, they are all perfectly normal--so long as you are not a human. In the process, she explains the science behind it all, from Darwin's theory of sexual selection to why sexual reproduction exists at all. Applying human standards to the natural world, in the end she reveals the wonders of both.…
