2	Climbing Mount Improbable more books like this by Richard Dawkins add to wishlist The metaphor of Mount Improbable is represented in the combination of perfection and improbability, which is epitomized in the seemingly 'designed' perfection of living things. Dawkins skillfully guides the reader on a breathtaking journey through the mountain's passes and up its many peaks to demonstrate that following the improbable path to ... see all copies from $2.53! new only from $10.57! \| first editions \| SVS
3	Presence of the Past more books like this by Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. add to wishlist This book develops the revolutionary theory that behaviour and social systems are not only governed by immutable and mechanistic laws, which is the traditional viewpoint, but also by habits transmitted by nature's inherent memory.

7	The Origin of Animal Body Plans: A Study in Evolutionary Developmental Biology more books like this by Wallace Arthur add to wishlist Neo-Darwinism currently occupies a dominant position in evolutionary thought.

The point of view is structural, and emphasis is placed on the experimental approach to development. The book deals with lower vascular plants (e.g. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $38.48! \| first editions
13	The Vortex of Life: Nature's Patterns in Space and Time more books like this by Lawrence Edwards add to wishlist Building on his earlier research Lawrence Edwards examines the influence of celestial motion on the form of plants, embryos, and the heart. His statistical analysis of bud shapes, begun in the 1960s, leads him to suggest that all living forms are affected by patterns in time as well as space, with all of life and nature passing through vast cycles ... see all copies from $22.22! new only from $34.00! \| first editions \| SVS
14	The Evolution of Organ Systems more books like this by Andreas Schmidt-Rhaesa add to wishlist Systematics has developed rapidly during the past two decades. A multitude of new methods and contributions from a diversity of biological fields including molecular genetics and developmental biology have provided a wealth of phylogenetic hypotheses, some confirming traditional views others contradicting them. Despite such inconsistencies, it is ... see all copies from $56.55! new only from $73.18! \| first editions
15 view cover	Theoretical Morphology: The Concept and Its Applications more books like this by George McGhee add to wishlist Theoretical morphology - which seeks to sketch the range of forms that biological entities could take, with the ultimate goal of discovering why certain forms exist but others do not - is among paleontology's most significant contributions to the understanding of evolution. With the aid of computers in developing concievable morphologies, the ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $19.95!
16 view cover	Imaginal Discs: The Genetic and Cellular Logic of Pattern Formation more books like this by Lewis I Held, Jr., Jonathan B L Bard (Editor), Peter W Barlow (Editor) add to wishlist Many of the 14,000 genes of Drosophila are involved in the development of imaginal discs. These hollow sacs of cells make adult structures during metamorphosis, and their study is crucial to comprehending how a larva becomes a fully-functioning fly. This book examines the genetic circuitry of the well-known 'fruit fly', tackling questions of cell ... see all copies from $82.13! new only from $82.13! \| SVS
