Description: Author: George C Williams Title: The Pony Fishs Glow, And Other Clues to Plan and Purpose in Nature Binding: hardcover, with dust jacket Size: octavo Pagination: 184pp Published: 1997, Basic Books, stated First Edition Condition: very good; owners name, front flyleaf; interior clean, with light shelf wear to edges of dust jacket. Williams walks us through the philosophy and practical implications of the notion of "function" in biology and evolved systems, and the ways that natural selection can take advantage of the raw materials at hand to produce some of the most elegant and counterintuitive solutions to the problems organisms face in their lives. Why is there sex? Why old age and death? In a sense, these are side-effects of the system that permits diversity to flourish.
