2.The Mismeasure of ManThe Mismeasure of Man
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Some critics complain that in The Mismeasure of Man Stephen J. Gould attacks a straw man: craniometry is, after all, no more than fin-du-siècle quackery with which no self-respecting scientist would dream of having truck these says. Likewise, the naïve early attempts at to link IQ with... more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
In the beginning of Wonderful Life, Gould writes:
"Words, of course, must be varied, if only to eliminate any jargon and phraseology that would mystify anyone outside the priesthood, but conceptual depth should not vary at all between professional publications and general exposition. I hope... more info

4.The Richness of Life: The Essential Stephen Jay GouldThe Richness of Life: The Essential Stephen Jay Gould
from W. W. Norton
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
The Richness of Life is a good overview of Stephen Jay Gould's writings, but the individual collections are better. He is a brilliant and original thinker, thought-provoking, and generally entertaining. My only comment that is less than superlative would be on his writing style, which unfortunately... more info

I read this book on the suggestion of a close relative who knows that I have been reading evolutionary biology, geology,paleontology, anthropology and related books and scientific articles for 40 years.

7.Bully for Brontosaurus: Reflections in Natural HistoryBully for Brontosaurus: Reflections in Natural History
from W. W. Norton & Company

Customer Review:
My commendation of Stephen Jay Gould is in the way of a class action review. I do not remember reading anything by this author that was not satisfying and worthwhile - though sometimes at odds with my own views. This collection of essays was simply the latest I had found at the library when I wrote... more info

8.Full House Signed Edition: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to DarwinFull House Signed Edition: The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin
from Harmony

Customer Review:
Well....
Gould's message is pure, and correct. We take complexity as a trend ("thing") that is presumably advancing with time, rather than recognizing it as a part of the Full House where there are right or left limitations, etc etc etc... (you can read the book:)
But from a critique... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
This is the book that reminds us why Stephen Jay Gould was the Great One. He was perhaps the greatest naturalist of his generation, as measured by being able to get across complex scientific ideas for the common man in an interesting manner. Additionally, he was a great scientist in his own right.... more info

from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Eliot Asinof played minor league baseball briefly, but his claim to fame is this riveting account of the 1919 World Series. The heavily favored Chicago White Sox lost the best of nine series to the Cincinnati Reds in eight games. In the following season, the White Sox were engaged in another pennant... more info
