Publisher's Summary

From paleontology, dinosaurs, and fossils to the fascinating and strange phenomena of life on Earth today, come the inspiration for Dinosaur in a Haystack, a collection of Stephen Jay Gould's best essays. Fads to fungus, baseball to beeswax, Gould always circles back to the great themes of time, change, and history. Alternating between amusement and awe, he digs deep into the particulars of people's lives and nature's ways. Gould's inimitable style makes history and science accessible and relevant to everyone.
