Book summary

In this new collection of essays, Gould talks about such things as the wisdom of Charles Darwin and Old Testament Psalms; the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park and the dynamic new theories about, and reconstructions of, these giant fossils; the thwarted human nature of Frankenstein's monster; and the moral imperatives that thinking people have to confront in the fallacies of eugenics, creationism, and other ethical challenges.
