尼尔斯·艾崔奇（Niles Eldredge），美国最重要的演化学家之一，生物演化“点断平衡”理论之父，同时，他还是可与《自私的基因》作者道金斯比肩的演化学家和科普作家。在超过45年的时间里，艾崔奇凭借扎实的研究和精彩的著作极大地扩展了公众对生物演化的想象与认知。他至今出版过20多部科普著作，并发表过200多篇文章。2000年，由他撰写的《平衡中的生命》（Life in the Balance）被美国《出版人周刊》誉为史上最好的生物科普著作之一。 20世纪70年代，艾崔奇与好友史蒂芬·古尔德（Stephen Gould）共同开创了生物演化的“点断平衡”理论,这一理论是演化学界的里程碑，不仅对达尔文的进化论形成了重要的补充，也成为了与“自私的基因”理论并驾齐驱的流行演化学说。

"This book is a splendidly illustrated and thoughtfully constructed account of one of the greatest ideas ever conceived by the human mind -- evolution. Eldredge has cleverly combined our knowledge of living organisms with instructive insights into the fossil record to convincingly argue that evolution is, indeed, the grand unifying idea of biology." -- Donald C. Johanson, Found...(展开全部)

The fullest expression of the distinguished French philosopher's ideas about the meaning of life. In propounding his distinctive theory of evolution, Bergson considers nature and intelligence, examines mechanisms of thought and illusion, and presents a criticism of philosophical systems from those of the ancients to those of his 19th-century contemporaries.

In its scope and emphases, Evolution is a readily recognized descendant of the author's previous textbook, Evolutionary Biology. However, it is much shorter and is exclusively directed toward an undergraduate audience. Teachers and students will find the list of important concepts and terms in each chapter a helpful guide, and will appreciate the radically different dynamic fig...(展开全部)
