520 1  "In 1972 Stephen Jay Gould took the scientific world by 
       storm with his paper on punctuated equilibrium, written 
       with Niles Eldredge. Challenging a core assumption of 
       Darwin's theory of evolution, it launched the career of 
       one of the most influential evolutionary biologists of our
       time - perhaps the best known since Darwin." 
520 8  "Now, thirty-five years later, and five years after his 
       untimely death, Punctuated Equilibrium (originally 
       published as the central chapter of Gould's masterwork, 
       The Structure of Evolutionary Theory) offers his only book
       -length testament on an idea he fiercely promoted, 
       repeatedly refined, and tirelessly defended. Punctuated 
       equilibrium holds that the great majority of species 
       originate in geological moments (punctuations) and persist
       in stasis. The idea was hotly debated because it forced 
       biologists to rethink entrenched ideas about evolutionary 
       patterns and processes. But as Gould shows here in his 
       typically exhaustive coverage, the idea has become the 
       foundation of a new view of hierarchical selection and 
       macroevolution."--Jacket.
