《The Selfish Gene：40th Anniversary Edition》 by Richard Dawkins(Author) Product details Paperback: 496 pages Publisher: OUP Oxford; 4 edition (9 Jun. 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 0198788606 ISBN-13: 978-0198788607 Product Dimensions: 19.6 x 3.6 x 13.2 cm Product De*ion As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published. This 40th anniversary
内容简介 Table of Contents: "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto." Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time ? NPR ? GQ ? Elle ? Vulture ? Fortune ? Boing Boing ? The Irish Times ? The New York Public Library Nothing is harder to do these days than nothing. But in a world where our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity . . . doing nothing may be our most important form of resistance. So argues artist and critic Jenny Odell in this field guide to doing nothing (at least as capitalism defines it). Odell sees our attention as the most precious and overdrawn resource we have. Once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.
