Evolution: The modern synthesis

Description: Evolution: The modern synthesis Huxley, Julian Product Overview This classic work by Julian Huxley, first published in 1942, captured andsynthesized all that was then known about evolutionary biology and gave a name tothe Modern Synthesis, the conceptual structure underlying the field for most of thetwentieth century. Many considered Huxley's book a popularization of the ideas thenemerging in evolutionary biology, but in fact The Modern Synthesis is awork of serious scholarship that is also accessible to the general educated public.It is a book in the intellectual tradition of Charles Darwin and Thomas HenryHuxley--Julian Huxley's grandfather, known for his energetic championing of Darwin'sideas. A contemporary reviewer called The Modern Synthesis "theoutstanding evolutionary treatise of the decade, perhaps the century." Thisdefinitive edition brings one of the most important and successful scientific booksof the twentieth century back into print. It includes the entire text of the 1942edition, Huxley's introduction to the 1963 second edition (which demonstrates hiscontinuing command of the field), and the introduction to the 1974 third edition, written by nine experts (many of them Huxley's associates) from different areas ofevolutionary biology.
