## Description

As Ernst Mayr, the most eminent evolutionary biologist of the 20th century, turns 100 years old, he offers this collection of essays that argue that biology is an autonomous science rather than a branch of the physical sciences. He offers insights on the history of evolutionary thought, critiques the conditions of philosophy to science of biology, and more. 0-521-84114-3$30. 00 / Cambridge University Press
