Dawkins
vs. Gould : Survival of the Fittest
by Kim Sterelny, Jon Turney (Editor)
Kim Sterelny moves beyond caricature to expose the real differences
between the conceptions of evolution of these two leading scientists. He
shows that the conflict extends beyond evolution to their very beliefs
in science itself; and, in Gould’s case, to domains in which science plays
no role at all. Amazon.com

Darwin : The Great Debate at the High Table of Evolutionary Theory
by Niles Eldredge
One of the world's foremost evolutionary theorists presents a fascinating
overview of the arguments supporting the two main opposing theories of
evolution that have developed since Darwin--one from the geneticists and
the other from the paleontologists. Eldredge offers an insider's perspective
of the disputes between the most famous names in the field. He explains
who the key players are, why they disagree and gives a spirited defense
of his side of the debate. Features all important new advances in evolutionary
theory during the past two decades. The Publisher

The
Structure of Evolutionary Theory
by Stephen Jay Gould
The theory of evolution is regarded as one of the greatest glimmerings
of understanding humans have ever had. It is an idea of science, not of
belief, and therefore undergoes constant scrutiny and testing by argumentative
evolutionary biologists. But while Darwinists may disagree on a great many
things, they all operate within a (thus far) successful framework of thought
first set down in The Origin of Species in 1859.
In The Structure of Evolutionary Theory, a monumental labor of academic
love, Stephen Jay Gould attempts to define and revise that framework. Using
the clear metaphors and personable style he is so well known for, Gould
outlines the foundation of the theory and attempts to use it to show that
modern evolutionary biology has lost its way. He then offers his own system
for reconciling Darwin's "basic logical commitments" with the critiques
of modern scientists.
Gould's massive opus begs a new look at natural selection with the full
weight of history behind it. His opponents will find much to criticize,
and orthodox, reductionist Darwinists might feel that Gould has given them
short shrift. But as an opening monologue for the new century's biological
debates, The Structure of Evolutionary Theory sets a mountainous precedent
in exhaustive scholarship, careful logic, and sheer reading pleasure. --Therese
