Subtitle: Reflections in Natural History  Author: Stephen Jay Gould Publisher: Vintage Books () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 479 Dimensions: 19.7 x 12.9 x 3 cm +++ by Stephen Jay Gould +++ In this volume of reflections on biology, history and culture, Stephen Jay Gould addresses the burning issues of ecological crisis and contemporary species extinctions as well as giving us fascinating insights into evolution - such as the fact that the first land vertebrates had up to eight toes on each foot, and that the ichthyosaur had a very significant kink in its tail. "Gould has a talent for making the scientific, and particularly the revolutionary, interesting and striking" - Sunday Times.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
