About this title

Review:

- Robert Ulanowicz, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory of the University of Maryland

" This volume by Depew and Weber constitutes an academic contribution of the first rank. What the authors uncover about the past and propose for the future is revolutionary, indeed! They do not pretend to have made a watertight case for extending the Darwinian paradigm, but they certainly lay before the reader a delightful narrative of the possibilities." - Robert Ulanowicz, Chesapeake Biological Laboratory of the University of Maryland
