1 rating • 1 review • 2 shelved

Gould's final essay collection is based on his remarkable series for Natural History magazine-exactly 300 consecutive essays, with never a month missed, published from 1974 to 2001. Both an intellectually thrilling journey into the nature of scientific discovery and the most personal book he ever published.

Reviews

Interesting little tour through Gould’s essays although there was nothing here I strongly connected with. The best was definitely last, “The Great Physiologist of Heidelberg,” on the misguided classifications of race and the consequences of unfortunate ethnocentrism, even by those, like the eponymous Tiedemann, who’ve tried to correct the mistakes.
