| 內容簡介： |
Charles Darwin''s The Origin of Species is probably the
best-known, least-read book. One of the most important achievements
of the past millennium, it did for biology what Galileo did for
astronomy: made it into a single science rather than a collection
of unrelated facts. Important though Origin remains, its examples
and intricate Victorian prose are now a century and a half old.
They are ripe for renewal and reaffirmation. Writing as "Darwin''s
ghost," eminent geneticist Steve Jones updates this seminal
work--and restates evolution''s case for the 21st century.
Jones is a writer of engaging wit and dazzling
erudition and has been called "the British Carl Sagan." Using
modern examples--the AIDS virus, the puzzles of sexual selection,
the physiology and psychology of pets, and the unparalleled genetic
success of our own species--he shows the power and immediacy of
Darwin''s great argument and makes us appreciate how it makes life
make sense. Eye-opening and entertaining, filled with astonishing
facts, amusing anecdotes, and the very latest research, Darwin''s
Ghost is contemporary science writing at its very best.
