Hard cover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition with Very Good+ Dustjacket. For centuries, biological scientists have been using the Linnean system of classification, organizing hierarchies of life forms by their perceived similarities and differences. In the late 20th century, so…me scientists have taken to using an alternative system called cladistics, which bases taxonomic classifications on ecological relationships. Under the first system, all algae fall into a single large category, which is then subdivided into various genera and species; under the second, green algae are grouped with plants, chromophyte algae with waterborne fungi, and so forth to account for the environments in which they live. Under the first system, dogs and wolves and coyotes are separated; under the second, they are united, for, the thinking goes, similarities of behavior and provenance are more important than mere lines of evolutionary descent, which can only be guessed at.The debate over cladistics has largely been confined to seminar rooms and laboratories. Henry Gee brings it to the general public in this spirited look at how the science of paleontology, that grand tour of what Gee calls Deep Time, is conducted. Replacing old family trees with "cladograms," Gee challenges long-accepted notions about the past (for example, the classification of Archaeopteryx, which walks like a duck and quacks like a duck but is accounted for as a dinosaur) and argues for a return to rigor in testing hypotheses. His book, although about difficult issues, is immediately accessible, and readers seeking to learn something about cladistics--which Gee believes is "a revolution in thought as profound as that of Darwinian evolution by natural selection"--are off to a fine start in these pages.

Hardback. Condición: Fine. There are books that deal with history, and then there are books that casually dismiss the last few thousand years as little more than the final paragraph of the introduction. In Search of Deep Time invites readers to abandon the comforting scale of kings, empires and recorded civilisation and instead…contemplate a world measured not in centuries, but in hundreds of millions of years. It is, in every sense, a magnificent exercise in perspective. Published by Free Press in 1999, Henry Gee?s engrossing exploration of evolution and the fossil record asks an awkward question that scientists have wrestled with for generations: How much can we really know about the distant past? Fossils are tantalisingly incomplete, evolution leaves frustratingly patchy evidence, and nature has an unfortunate habit of mislaying crucial documents over geological timescales. Gee argues that reconstructing life?s history is rather less like reading a complete biography and rather more like attempting to identify an entire television series after finding three pages of the script, a prop sword and someone?s left shoe. Yet somehow, through careful reasoning, comparative anatomy, genetics and a healthy respect for uncertainty, scientists continue to piece together one of the greatest detective stories ever undertaken. What makes this book such a pleasure is its honesty. Rather than pretending science possesses all the answers, Gee celebrates the process of discovery itself. He explains why some cherished evolutionary stories may be less certain than popular accounts suggest, while demonstrating that uncertainty is not a weakness but an essential part of scientific progress. Every fossil raises as many questions as it answers, which is wonderfully inconvenient if one was hoping for a tidy ending. There is delicious irony in humanity?s determination to reconstruct billions of years of history despite having considerable difficulty remembering where the car keys were left yesterday. Our species has somehow evolved the ability to infer entire vanished ecosystems from fragments of ancient bone, while simultaneously forgetting why we walked upstairs in the first place. Evolution clearly enjoys keeping us humble. Henry Gee writes with wit, clarity and an infectious enthusiasm that makes deep geological time feel surprisingly approachable. He has the rare gift of explaining sophisticated evolutionary ideas without reducing them to simplistic slogans, inviting readers into the wonderfully untidy world of palaeontology where every exciting discovery tends to create three fresh arguments among perfectly respectable scientists. Reading the book today is particularly enjoyable because many of its themes remain as relevant as ever. New fossil discoveries continue to reshape our understanding of life?s history, yet the central challenge remains unchanged: the past is incomplete, fragmentary and stubbornly silent. Scientists must coax remarkable stories from extraordinarily limited evidence, much like historians attempting to reconstruct an entire medieval banquet from a single spoon. Our copy is in fine condition , looking exceptionally well preserved for a volume now more than a quarter of a century old. The pages are clean, the binding remains excellent, and it presents as a particularly handsome example ready for many more years of thoughtful reading. Whether your interests lie in evolution, palaeontology, natural history or simply books that encourage you to think on a scale where mountain ranges come and go like weather forecasts, In Search of Deep Time is a rewarding companion. It combines scientific rigour with genuine curiosity, reminding us that Earth?s greatest stories were unfolding unimaginably long before humanity arrived to start writing them down. Exactly the sort of intelligent, beautifully written scientific volume that Crappy Old Books delights in rescuing. After all, a book discussing hundreds of millions of years can scarcely complain about spending.
