The Structure of Evolutionary Theory

So, have you read the late, lamented, and much-missed Stephen Jay Gould's magnum opus?

No, neither have I. Not yet, anyway. But I my copy from the library now - although I suspect that this is one that I'm going to have to buy, for the simple reason that I am going to read it. Every last blooming word of it - that's a lot fo words.

The Structure of Evolutionary Theory is a vast, terrifying, giant brick of a book. It's a bit like looking at Tolstoy's War and Peace (come to think of it, I never finished that one either). It's daunting. It's intimidating.

It also looks like really, really good fun.

And there's one other good thing about it: you can be damn sure that you won't encounter many - if, indeed, any - ID-o-bots, Disco-ites, or yucky YECs who have read it.

So join with me. Get your copy today, and dive in. Help drive away the darkness of ignorance by reading along with me, and for my part, I'll have my review ready sometime in 2010...
