Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Jacket by boldandnoble Ilustrador. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLUE PEN, ON TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very very slightly rubbed, not price clipped (£20.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 358pp. A new partnership of biologists and mathematicians is picking apart the hidden complexity of animals and plants to throw fresh light on the behaviour of entire organisms, how they interact and how changes in biological diversity affect the planet's ecological balance. Mathematics offers new and sometimes startling perspectives on evolution and how patterns of inheritance and population work out over timescales ranging from millions to hundreds of years, as well as what's going on to change us right now. Ian Stewart, in characteristically clear and entertaining fashion, explores these and a whole range of pertinent issues, including how far genes control behaviour and the nature of life itself. He shows how far mathematicians and biologists are succeeding in tackling some of the most difficult scientific problems the human race has ever confronted and where their research is currently taking us. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 010193
