Seasonal adaptations of insects
by Tauber, Maurice J., Tauber, Catherine A., Masaki, Shinzo
A comprehensive discussion of the broad range of insect responses to seasonality and a critical interpretation of the scientific literature.
Studies of brain evolution have moved rapidly in recent years, building on the pioneering research of Harry J. Jerison. This book provides reviews of primate (including human) brain evolution. The book is divided into two sections, the first gives new perspectives on the develop…

Proposes an approach to evolution that is more in harmony with modern science than Darwinism or neo-Darwinism.
"Most people who have taken a biology course in the past 50 years are familiar with the work of David Lack, but few remember his name. Almost all general biology texts produced during that period have a figure showing the beak size differences among the finches of the Galapagos …
