内容摘要 No one in this century can speak with greater authority on the progress of ideas in biology than Ernst Mayr. And no book has ever established the life sciences so firmly in the mainstream of Western intellectual history as The Growth of Biological Thought. Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life to modern research into the mechanisms of gene transmission. 在本世纪,没有人能比恩斯特·迈尔(Ernst Mayr)更有权威地谈论生物学的思想发展。迄今为止,还没有哪本书能像《生物思想的成长》那样牢固地确立生命科学在西方知识史主流中的地位。经过十年的准备,这是史诗级的工作,追溯了生物学的主要问题的发展,从最早尝试寻找生命多样性的顺序到现代研究基因传递机制。
