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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continuing relevance of these ideas in evolutionary biology today, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Dawkins\u003c\/strong\u003e, Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford, is one of the most influential science writers and communicators of our generation.
