關於產品

Product Information

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and has forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life. Now available in a revised edition, this classic volume on how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene contains two new chapters. One, entitled "Nice Guys Finish First," demonstrates how cooperation can evolve even in a basically selfish world. The other new chapter, entitled "The Long Reach of the Gene," clarifies the startling view that genes may reach outside the bodies in which they dwell and manipulate other individuals and even the world at large.

'What is so refreshing about Dawkins is that he has confidence in the scientific method, in the testing of beliefs to destruction, no matter how cherished they may be'Benjamin Woolley, The Listener, 'Richard Dawkins is one of a rare breed - a scientist with the gift of thegood writer. He has succeeded here in conveying theories of neo-Darwinism withthe excitement of a mystery story... He has revelled in pushing the novelty oflanguage and metaphor to the brink, and has ended up with a new way of seeing,which can in its own right come full circle and make an original contribution toscience. At the same time, he has produced a book which is highly readable bothfor the layman, without any note of condescension, and for the expert, givinghima new way of looking at familiar ideas.'Alternatives to Laboratory Animals, 'an Essential and Value-For-Money Purchase for All Biological Libraries.' Journal of Applied Ecology, "A splendid example of how difficult scientific ideas can be explained bysomeone who understands them and is willing to take the trouble" The NewYorker, 'Dawkins demonstrates that complex, theoretical or mathematical ideas can be expressed rigorously, in plain English. The book remains an excellent way for those who have not been trained in evolution to understand modern arguments.'Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 'Richard Dawkins is one of a rare breed - a scientist with the gift of the good writer. He has succeeded here in conveying theories of neo-Darwinism with the excitement of a mystery story...

Alternatives to Laboratory Animals, 'buy this book, read it and recommend it to your students...There is still nothing else quite like it. Not only are the new chapters and endnotes worthy additions to the original, but the 1976 text comes up as fresh as a primrose and, in its way, nearly as perfect.'l Animal Behaviour, 'What is so refreshing about Dawkins is that he has confidence in thescientific method, in the testing of beliefs to destruction, no matter howcherished they may be'Benjamin Woolley, The Listener, 'A splendid example of how difficult scientific ideas can be explained by someone who understands them and is willing to take the trouble.' The New Yorker, "A must-read for every student of the natural sciences. A classic....An excellent source for heated discussion..."--Paul Munro, University of Pittsburgh "Students find The Selfish Gene helps them understanding evolution and behavior in ways they didn't before.
