Edward O Wilson Nature Revealed: Selected Writings, 1949-2006
The Johns Hopkins University Press Baltimore, MD 2006 0801883296 / 9780801883293 First - First edition Hardcover Fine fine Hardcover
Second printing. Brown cloth boardsBook is in excellent condition - no wear or marks to book or dust jacket. A solid, tight edition that appears as-new. "Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson is one of the leading biologists and philosophical thinkers of our time. In this compelling collection, Wilson's observations range from the tiny glands of ants to the nature of the living universe. Many of the pieces are considered landmarks in evolutionary biology, ecology, and behavioral biology. Wilson explores topics as diverse as slavery in ants, the genetic basis of societal structure, the discovery of the taxon cycle, the original formulation of the theory of island biogeography, a critique of subspecies as a unit of classification, and the conservation of life's diversity. Each article is presented in its original form, dating from Wilson's first published article in 1949 to his most recent exploration of the natural world. Preceding each piece is a brief essay by Wilson that explains the context in which the article was written and provides insights into the scientist himself and the debates of the time."

Here is a fresh and wonderful view of the oldest and most treasured of the world's national parks and of the courage and dedication of its guardians."

Wilson, Edward O. Naturalist
Island Press Washington DC 1994 1559632887 / 9781559632881 First - First edition Hardcover Very Good near fine Hardcover
First printing. Brown cloth boards with gilt lettering on front and spine. Front cover slightly bowed and hinges a little loose, but not overly. No marks or soiling to interior. Dust jacket in near fine condition with only light edge wear to top edge. "Edward O. Wilson - University Professor at Harvard, winner of two Pulitzer prizes, eloquent champion of biodiversity - is arguably one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. His career represents both a blueprint and a challenge to those who seek to explore the frontiers of scientific understanding. Yet, until now, little has been told of his life and of the important events that have shaped his thought. In Naturalist, Wilson describes for the first time both his growth as a scientist and the evolution of the science he has helped define. He traces the trajectory of his life - from a childhood spent exploring the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida to life as a tenured professor at Harvard - detailing how his youthful fascination with nature blossomed into a lifelong calling. He recounts with drama and wit the adventures of his days as a student at the University of Alabama and his four decades at Harvard University, where he has achieved renown as both teacher and researcher."
