Description:
This definitive two-volume handbook is unique in spanning the entire spectrum of evolution, from the origins of life up to the formation of social structures and science and technology.The author team of world-renowned experts, who include Jean Gayon (France), John Gowdy (USA), Peter Richerson (USA), Michael Tomasello (Germany), Erhard Oeser (Austria), Harald Haarmann (Finland), Francisco Ayala (USA), Pulitzer prize-winner Edward O. Wilson (USA), consider evolution from an inter-disciplinary approach, continuously cross-referencing so as to retain a logical internal structure.The uniformly structured contributions discuss not only the general knowledge behind the evolution of life, but also the corresponding development of language, society, economies, morality and politics. The result is an indispensable overview of the history and methods used in the study of evolution, including controversial theories and discussions. An essential resource for researchers in the natural sciences, sociology and philosophy.From the reviews:“… this book features seminal and thorough coverage of a broad range of topics by… well-chosen experts.” CHOICE"…the entire book could be used as a general resource in a seminar on evolutionary theory."
