About This Item
NICELY SIGNED BY RICHARD DAWKINS without inscription directly to the title page. This is the 2006 anniversary edition (30th) published in the UK by Oxford with the British price intact on the rear of the DJ. Book is likely unread, so the text is pristine, but bumped on the corners and spine extremities. The richly colored dust jacket has only mild blemishes and looks terrific with a new mylar cover. Expedited and international shipping are welcome; signed by author.
Synopsis
The Selfish Gene is a book on evolution by Richard Dawkins, published in 1976. It builds upon the principal theory of George C. Williams's first book Adaptation and Natural Selection. Dawkins coined the term "selfish gene" as a way of expressing the gene-centred view of evolution, which holds that evolution is best viewed as acting on genes and that selection at the level of organisms or populations almost never overrides selection based on genes.
