About this Item

A significant association copy of this landmark paperback original on science and philosophy, inscribed by the Nobel laureate Prigogine to the influential evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould. This collaboration between a Nobel Prize-winning chemist and a philosopher examines how modern thermodynamics transforms our understanding of time, evolution, and the relationship between physical and social sciences. The book has become a cornerstone text in the philosophy of science, cited more than 14,000 times in the academic literature according to Google scholar. xxxi, 349 pages. This is the correct first American edition (a paperback original in Bantam's New Age series), preceding the 1986 Shambhala hardcover (See Boston Globe, July 14, 1985, describing the book as forthcoming the following year from Shambhala). Near fine with minor edgewear. Inscribed: "To Stephen Gould with highest regards and best wishes Ilya Prigogine. 4/16/84." Signed copies of Prigogine's work are uncommon.
