Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Dozens of choice essays. . . . Teaching and its decline . . . and other signs of the decrepitude of the culture balanced by the cheer and zeal with which Gould extols advances in science. . . .
Bully for Brontosaurus and bully for Gould too." -- Kirkus Reviews
"May be Gould's finest to date. . . . Whether his topic is typewriter design, thetechnical triumph of
Voyager or Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak, Gould holds our attention. His essays are illuminating, instructive, and fun to read." -- Publishers Weekly
"No living scientist who writes for the public has a better claim to the mantle of Thomas Huxley in range of interests and felicity of style. . . .
Bully for Brontosaurus is the fifth and finest selection." -- David Fromkin - Washington Post Book World
