Description

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins This influential work of evolutionary biology has become a cornerstone of modern science writing, articulating a gene's eye view of evolution that has galvanized the biology community and stimulated new areas of research. Dawkins' imaginative and powerful exposition brings the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, providing a fresh perspective on the persistence of units of information in organisms. Forty years after its initial publication, the ideas presented in The Selfish Gene remain as relevant today as they were on the day it was published. This 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews.
