About this title: This title shapes a unified and rational picture of nature, history, and life that is often at odds with what we intuitively 'know' to be true. The book asks the reader to reconceptualize their view of natural reality in a fundamental way. Just as a full house in poker expresses an excellence of all parts together, fortuitous in origin but shaped by selection, this author argues that variation is the ultimate expression of excellence. He supports this view with an abundance of biological and paleontological arcana.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
