Critics Review
“It is good to have again in print (with a new introduction) Julian Huxley’s masterwork, Evolution: The Modern Synthesis. One marvels at the depths of Huxley’s insights, one is impressed by the breadth of his scope, and one is charmed and delighted by his gracious prose. Reading this book is like coming again on an old, valued friend or meeting someone who captivates from the first moment.”–Michael Ruse, Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Program in History and Philosophy of Science, Florida State University
