Myers Magazine issue 2603 I WELL remember the summer I read The Structure of Evolutionary Theory . It was 2002, Stephen Jay Gould had just died, but he had left behind this magnum opus, a substantial work that summarised and synthesised his view of evolution. I purchased a copy right away. As soon as my teaching duties ended for the summer, I settled down to enjoy the wisdom of a master of science writing, and drink deeply of his ideas. I got a rude shock. Not only was the book huge, but Gould's rhetorical excesses had been left unchecked - the parenthetical asides (and parentheses inside parentheses), the long-winded expositions explaining the rationale for what he was about to say, the repetitiveness. The book would have benefited greatly from an editor's ruthless hand. I struggled with it for months, but I was well rewarded: there are great and provocative ideas buried in the wordiness, as ...

The Rediscovery of Imperialism by John Bellamy Foster Lynne Stewart Interviewed by Susie Day Early this year, Stephen Gould developed lung cancer, which spread so quickly that there was no hope of survival. He died on May 20, 2002, at the age of sixty. Twenty years ago, he had escaped death from mesothelioma, induced, we all supposed, by some exposure to asbestos. Although his cure was complete, he never lost the consciousness of his mortality and gave the impression, at least to his friends, of an almost cheerful acceptance of the inevitable. Having survived one cancer that was probably the consequence of an environmental poison, he succumbed to another.

Samuel Morton had amassed the best and most extensive skull collection of different types of people that had ever been gathered together, and he tried to measure the volume of a skull. And when he got his hundred skulls of American Indians and compared them with his forty or fifty skulls of African peoples and his many Caucasian people, he ended up where he expected right in the beginning: with white folks having several more cubic centimeters than Indians, and Indians having several more cubic centimeters on average than blacks. Now, since so many studies since then have found little to no difference among human groups - not that it would matter if there were substantial differences - you wonder how he got those results. Supposedly he's making an objective measurement.

The award honors outstanding individual and organizational contributions to public understanding of science and engineering. Gould's investigations of evolution, together with those of his colleague Niles Eldredge, have resulted in the seminal concept of punctuated equilibrium, arguably the most significant insight into evolution's mechanisms since Darwin. His contributions to the study of "systematics" (biodiversity and its historical patterns and processes) have significantly influenced that science.

David Runciman Triumph and Tragedy in Mudville: A Lifelong Passion for Baseball by Stephen Jay Gould Buy this book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis The Red Sox were at least spared the indignity of having their misfortunes blamed on some hapless idiot whose glove happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But they have not always been so lucky. Until they win the World Series, and perhaps even when they do, Boston will be associated with the most celebrated personal fuck-up in the history of American sports – the ultimate ‘boner’, as it used to be called by baseball writers, or ‘blooper’, in the hideous euphemism of the TV age. In 1986, the Red Sox reached the bottom of the tenth inning of the sixth game of the World Series leading the New York Mets 5-3, and two outs away from the title. In Ken Burns’s wonderful documentary series Baseball , the NBC commentator Bob Costas describes being stationed in the Red Sox locker room as a little dais was being erected and preparations were made to spray the place with champagne to celebrate the lifting of the curse. But out on the field of Shea Stadium, a veteran first baseman with dodgy knees called Bill Buckner failed to pick up a simple ground ball as it dribbled between his legs, bending down, in the timeless phrase of one journalist, ‘like a man on the crapper trying to get to the telephone’. Ray Knight scored from third for the Mets, and downstairs in the Red Sox changing area Costas watched the staff unpeeling clingfilm from the lockers before the distraught players could see it. It goes without saying that the Red Sox lost game seven as well. Bill Buckner moved to Idaho. Oh, the curse!

Born in New York City, Gould earned his undergraduate degree in geology from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1963. In 1967, upon earning his doctorate degree in paleontology from Columbia University in New York City, he became assistant professor of geology and assistant curator of invertebrate paleontology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He spent his entire professional career at Harvard University, where he was promoted to professor of geology and curator of invertebrate paleontology in 1973, and named Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology in 1982. In 1972 Gould and American paleontologist Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City originated the punctuated equilibria theory of evolution . Gould and Eldredge noted that the fossil record contained few examples of organisms exhibiting a continuous, gradual evolution in form, but many examples of the abrupt appearance of completely new species. From these observations Gould and Eldredge proposed that the evolution of a species results from rapid changes to an isolated population, caused by such natural phenomena as major climate change, followed by long periods of evolutionary stability. This theory of punctuated equilibria spurred debate among evolutionary biologists that continues today because it contrasts with the gradualist theory of evolution, which suggests that species evolve gradually over long periods of time. In other research, Gould focused on invertebrate paleontology, studying the changing forms of land snails.

Was Darwin Wrong? Home Intro About Feedback ... Gould as an anti-creationist Stephen Jay Gould as a critic of orthodox neo-Darwinism "I also developed immense sympathy for the beauty and raw intellectual power of various alternatives, even if I eventually found them wanting in empirical terms." The Structure of Evolutionary Theory Stephen Jay Gould The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2002, 1433 pp reviewed by Gert Korthof, 28 May 2004 (updated 14 May 2006). In developing his criticism of the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution, Stephen J. Gould created a very useful list of the essential core constituents of neo-Darwinism. The Structure of Evolutionary Theory made me realise that Stephen Jay Gould has two seemingly incompatible sides. ' Gould-1 ' is the defender and populariser of evolution known from his popular books like Ever since Darwin, Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes, Bully for Brontosaurus Gould-2 ' is the critic of evolution who developed punctuated equilibrium and several other points as criticisms of neo-Darwinian evolution. In this book he is not only a critic, but also reflects on his criticism. How much criticism is still compatible with being a Darwinist? This question leads him to a logical analysis of the core principles of Darwinism. Hence the name of the book. His analysis enables him to distinguish the core and the rest of Darwinism and consequently to distinguish between criticism that is compatible or incompatible with the core of Darwinism. The result is useful for classifying

Which is unfortunate, really, because in Wonderful Life WL ostensibly describes the massive effort of re-examining and re-interpreting the Burgess Shale WL is, perhaps, his greatest casualty. Both author and book have attracted considerable criticism (Richard Dawkins describes WL as "beautifully written and deeply muddled"), not least from one of the central ‘characters,’ Simon Conway Morris The Crucible of Creation .

60. Kgoldb.htm Awardwinning author stephen jay gould shares some of his personal history as well as his views STRICTLY speaking, stephen jay gould is not an educator. http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/kgoldb.htm

An Interview with Stephen Jay Gould Joltin' Joe and the Pursuit of Excellence By Mark F. Goldberg Award-winning author Stephen Jay Gould shares some of his personal history as well as his views on education and contemporary American culture. STRICTLY speaking, Stephen Jay Gould is not an educator. He's a paleontologist, Harvard professor, and arguably America's finest and most commercially successful serious science writer. He does not profess to know what is laudable or lamentable about the public schools, since his career in education has been devoted to highly motivated graduate students and undergraduates. Indeed, he describes Harvard as "a school of valedictorians highly skilled and pretty well motivated" and hardly an accurate microcosm of America's youth. However, Gould does have very strong feelings about what he valued in his own education and what he values in the educational world he knows not to mention what he misses in today's students and in American culture. I interviewed Professor Gould in his modern, beautifully renovated, spacious New York loft, which is filled with his artist wife's colorful and fascinating finished works and works-in-progress, built-in storage cabinets and bookcases, lots of books, comfortable furniture, and the old typewriter on which he still prefers to write. Dressed informally and without shoes, Gould graciously invited me into his office and answered all my specific questions, save those related to his immediate family. Not willing to react to a general question, Gould punctuated our interview with the courteous and gently spoken admonition "Be more specific."
