Hardcover. Condition: near fine(-). First edition, second printing. Light blue-white octavo, viii, 309 pages, b&w illustrations, 24 cm. The book presents a complex picture of human communicative ability as simultaneously biologically and socioculturally influenced, with some capacities apparently more biologically hard-wired than others: face recognition, imitation, emotional communication, and the capacity for language. It also suggests that the dividing line between nonverbal and linguistic communication is becoming much less clearcut." "The contributing authors are leading researchers in a variety of fields, writing here for a general audience. The book is divided into sections dealing with, respectively, human universals, evolutionary and developmental aspects of nonverbal behavior within a sociocultural context, and finally, the multifaceted relationships between nonverbal communication and culture.

Paperback. Condition: Good. There are books about science, there are books about scientists, and then there are books about scientists arguing with one another so passionately that the arguments themselves become part of scientific history. Defenders of the Truth is gloriously in that third category. It is less a quiet academic monograph than a front-row seat at one of the most remarkable intellectual battles of the twentieth century, complete with brilliant minds, bruised egos, ideological clashes and enough controversy to make an ordinary laboratory seem positively tranquil. Published by Oxford University Press in 2000, Ullica Segerstråle?s acclaimed work chronicles the famous sociobiology debate that erupted after E. O. Wilson proposed that aspects of social behaviour might have evolutionary roots. What followed was not merely an exchange of journal articles. It became a decades-long conflict involving biology, politics, philosophy, ethics and deeply held convictions about what it means to be human. Segerstråle approaches this extraordinary story not as a combatant but as an exceptionally patient observer. Rather than declaring winners and losers, she explores how intelligent, thoughtful people can examine much the same evidence and arrive at dramatically different conclusions. It is a study not only of science, but of scientists themselves?complete with rivalries, friendships, alliances and the occasionally awkward realisation that being right is not always enough to settle an argument. One of the great pleasures of the book is that it reminds us scientific progress is rarely the neat procession portrayed in school textbooks. Discoveries do not emerge into universal applause while everyone politely applauds and updates the curriculum. More often they arrive trailing disagreement, criticism, reinterpretation and several decades of energetic debate before anyone feels remotely comfortable. There is delicious irony in the title itself. Every participant believed they were defending the truth. Some defended evolutionary explanations. Others defended social and cultural interpretations. Others defended science from politics, or politics from science, depending upon the day of the week and who had most recently published a particularly pointed review. Truth, it turns out, is rather more crowded than one might hope. The book also offers a fascinating glimpse into how scientific ideas live beyond the laboratory. Questions about evolution, human behaviour, genetics and culture do not remain confined to lecture theatres. They spill into newspapers, classrooms, public policy and ordinary conversation, acquiring new meanings and fresh controversies along the way. Few debates have illustrated this better than sociobiology. Segerstråle writes with remarkable balance and clarity. She neither sensationalises the disagreements nor buries them beneath inaccessible academic language. Instead, she allows readers to appreciate the personalities involved alongside the ideas themselves. It becomes increasingly apparent that science is a profoundly human enterprise, conducted by people who are every bit as passionate, stubborn and occasionally theatrical as the rest of us. Reading the book today is surprisingly timely. Discussions about genetics, evolution, artificial intelligence, culture, identity and human behaviour continue to provoke spirited debate, even if the vocabulary has evolved. Many of the questions raised here remain unresolved, making this volume feel less like a historical curiosity and more like essential background reading for conversations that are still unfolding. Our copy is in good condition , presenting as a clean, solid and thoroughly readable example of this important work. It has weathered the years with admirable composure, perhaps taking comfort from the fact that books generally survive academic disputes rather better than academic reputations. Whether your interests lie in evolutionary biology, psychology, sociology, philosophy of science or si.…
