Snowball Earthby Gabrielle Walker

Did the Earth once undergo a super ice age, one thatfroze the entire planet from the poles to the equator? InSnowball Earth, gifted writer Gabrielle Walker has craftedan intriguing global adventure story which explains mav-erick scientist Paul Hoffman’s argument that the Earthfroze over completely 700 million years ago in the worstclimatic catastrophe in history, and his assertion that,instead of ending life on Earth, this global deep freeze wasthe trigger for the Cambrian Explosion: the hitherto unex-plained moment in geological time when a glorious profu-sion of complex life forms first emerged from the primor-dial ooze.

Walker teaches students to read the traces of geologicaltime with expert eyes and, ultimately, to marvel at thestunning feats of resilience and renewal of which ourremarkable planet is capable. Three Rivers Press | Pbk | 1-4000-5125-8 | 288p | $13.95/$21.00C

NATURAL HISTORY

The Hedgehog, the Fox, and theMagister’s Pox Mending the Gap Between Science and theHumanitiesby Stephen Jay Gould

In this book, eminent paleontologist Stephen JayGould offers a surprising and nuanced study of the com-plex relationship between our two great ways of knowing:science and the humanities—twin realms of knowledgethat have historically been divided against each other.

In building his case, Gould shows why the commonassumption of an inescapable conflict between scienceand the humanities (in which he includes religion) is false,mounts a spirited rebuttal to the ideas that his intellectualrival E. O. Wilson set forth in his book Consilience, andexplains why the pursuit of knowledge must always operate upon the bedrock of nature’s randomness.

I Have Landed The End of a Beginning in Natural Historyby Stephen Jay Gould

In I Have Landed, Stephen Jay Gould writes about thethemes that defined his career. Topics covered include:Darwin's centrality to any sound scientific education;feathered dinosaurs; Freud’s “evolutionary fantasy”; andmuch more.

I Have Landed succeeds in reinforcing Gould’s underly-ing and constant theme—the study of our own scientific,intellectual, and emotional evolution—bringing reader andauthor alike to what can only be described as a brilliantlywritten and very natural conclusion.

Leonardo’s Mountain of Clams and theDiet of WormsEssays on Natural Historyby Stephen Jay Gould

In this collection, Gould consciously and uncon-ventionally formulates a humanistic natural history, a consideration of how humans have learned to study andunderstand nature, rather than a history of nature itself.

“Gould’s elegant prose transmits the excitement andwide-eyed wonder of a scientist who never ceases to beamazed and amused at what he finds.”

Rocks of Ages Science and Religion in the Fullness of Lifeby Stephen Jay Gould

Writing with bracing intelligence and elegant clarity,Gould sheds new light on a dilemma that has plaguedthinking people since the Renaissance. Instead of choos-ing between science and religion, Gould asks, why not optfor a golden mean that accords dignity and distinction toeach realm? In elaborating and exploring this thought-pro-voking concept, Gould delves into the history of science,sketching affecting portraits of scientists and moral leaderswrestling with matters of faith and reason.

The Radioactive Boy ScoutThe Frightening True Story of a Whiz Kid and HisHomemade Nuclear Reactor by Ken Silverstein

Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fas-cinated by science. While he was working on his AtomicEnergy badge for the Boy Scouts, David’s obsessive atten-tion turned to nuclear energy. Throwing caution to thewind, he plunged into a new project: building a modelnuclear reactor in his backyard garden shed.

Posing as a physics professor, David solicited informa-tion on reactor design from the U.S. government and fromindustry experts. Following blueprints he found in an out-dated physics textbook, David cobbled together a crudedevice that threw off toxic levels of radiation. His whollyunsupervised project finally sparked an environmentalemergency that put his town’s forty thousand suburbanitesat risk. The EPA ended up burying his lab at a radioactivedumpsite in Utah. This offbeat account of ambition and,ultimately, hubris has the narrative energy of a first-ratethriller, and is ideal for independent reading.Villard | Pbk | 0-8129-6660-0 | 240p | $13.95/$21.00C
