The Lying Stones of Marrakech: Penultimate Reflections in Natural History (Natural History Essays, Vol 9)

Blurb

The Lying Stones of Marrakech is the ninth volume of collected essays by the Harvard paleontologist, Stephen Jay Gould. The essays were culled from his monthly column "The View of Life" in Natural History magazine, to which Gould contributed for 27 years. The book deals, in typically discursive fashion, with themes familiar to Gould's writing: evolution and its teaching, science biography, probabilities and common sense.
