The definitive edition of one of the most important scientific books of the twentieth century, setting out the conceptual structure underlying evolutionary biology. This classic work by Julian Huxley, first published in 1942, captured and synthesized all that was then known about evolutionary biology and gave a name to the Modern Synthesis, the conceptual structure underlying the field for most of the twentieth century. Many considered Huxley's book a popularization of the ideas then emerging in evolutionary biology, but in fact Evolution: The Modern Synthesis is a work of serious scholarship that is also accessible to the general educated public. It is a book in the intellectual tradition of Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley—Julian Huxley's grandfather, known for his energetic championing of Darwin's ideas.A contemporary reviewer called Evolution: The Modern Synthesis "the outstanding evolutionary treatise of the decade, perhaps the century." This definitive edition brings one of the most important and successful scientific books of the twentieth century back into print. It includes the entire text of the 1942 edition, Huxley's introduction to the 1963 second edition (which demonstrates his continuing command of the field), and the introduction to the 1974 third edition, written by nine experts (many of them Huxley's associates) from different areas of evolutionary biology.

"An award-winning journalist tells the story of his quest to reconcile with his white mother and the family he'd never met--and how faith brought them all together. John Blake grew up in a notorious Black neighborhood in inner-city Baltimore that was thesetting for the HBO series The Wire. It was there that he became a self-described "closeted biracial person," hostile toward white people while hiding the truth of his mother's race. The son of a Black man and a white woman who met at a time when interracial marriage was still illegal, Blake knew this much about his mother: She vanished from his life not long after his birth, and her family rejected him because of his race.

"...contributions from hundreds of people in public life many famous, others (like me) less so all offering bite-sized lessons for life." The Times 'Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy, wrote William Blake. It is a rare, precious commodity. Difficult to come by. Hard to acquire. The aim of The Book of Nuggets is to draw together in one place over 350 Nuggets of wisdom which others have found important in their lives. Some of the contributors are well known, others less so, but all were generously offered by people from all walks of life. But regardless of the finders status or fame, these jewels have brought solace, succour and serenity along the way. The books compiler, Juliet Solomon, hopes they might do the same for you. Juliet chose Nuggets of wisdom as the theme of this collection in tribute to her late mother, Judith Solomon. Judith died of end-stage renal failure, and all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to increasing wider public awareness of kidney disease, and to raise much needed funds for research into the condition, its prevention and for the amelioration of the suffering of patients living with kidney disease, and their loved ones.
