Although they are among the most abundant of all living things and provide essential oxygen, food, and shelter to the animal kingdom, few books pay any attention to how and why plants evolved the wondrous diversity we see today. In this richly illustrated and clearly written book, Karl J. Niklas provides the first comprehensive synthesis of modern evolutionary biology as it relates to plants. After presenting key evolutionary principles, Niklas recounts the saga of plant life from its origins to the radiation of the flowering plants. To investigate how living plants might have evolved, Niklas conducts a series of computer-generated "walks" on fitness "landscapes," arriving at hypothetical forms of plant life strikingly similar to those of today and the distant past. He concludes with an extended consideration of molecular biology and paleontology. An excellent overview for undergraduates, this book will also challenge graduate students and researchers.

Temperature impacts the behaviour, physiology and ecology of all organisms more than any other abiotic variable. In this book, the author draws on theory from the more general discipline of evolutionary ecology to foster a fresh approach toward a theory of thermal adaptation. - ;Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history when environmental temperatures vary over space and time. Despite temperature's significance, progress toward a quantitative theory of therm

Darwin's Camera tells the extraordinary story of how Charles Darwin changed the way pictures are seen and made. In his illustrated masterpiece, Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1871), Darwin introduced the idea of using photographs to illustrate a scientific theory--his was the first photographically illustrated science book ever published. Using photographs to depict fleeting expressions of emotion--laughter, crying, anger, and so on--as they flit across a person's face, he managed to produce dramatic images at a time when photography was famously slow and awkward.

"Eindelijk breken lichtstralen door & ik ben er vrijwel van overtuigd (nogal tegenovergesteld aan de mening waarvan ik vertrok) dat soorten niet (het is als het bekennen van een moord) onveranderlijk zijn." -- Charles Darwin, brief van 11 januari 1844 aan zijn vriend Joseph Hooker. Geen enkele wetenschappelijke theorie beïnvloedt zo dramatisch ons denken over de natuur en onszelf als Charles Darwins evolutietheorie. In de woorden van de Amerikaanse filosoof Daniel Dennett is Darwins theorie een universeel zuur; ze lijkt alles aan te tasten, ook eeuwenoude en vastgeroeste overtuigingen. Het is dan ook niet te verwonderen dat de discussies en controverses die gestart zijn op de dag dat Darwins boek Over het ontstaan van soorten werd gepubliceerd, tot op heden voortduren. Veel debatten over Darwin zijn niet louter wetenschappelijk van aard. Darwinistisch denken gaat evenzeer over religie, moraal, cultuur, gedrag en alles wat we als typisch menselijk beschouwen. Sommigen zijn daar bijzonder opgetogen over, anderen vinden het een gruwel. Om inzicht te krijgen in deze fascinerende omwentelingen in ons denken die Darwin heeft teweeggebracht, is een goed begrip van de evolutietheorie onontbeerlijk. Darwins moordbekentenis wijdt de lezer in in het darwinistische gedachtegoed aan de hand van een historische reconstructie van zijn persoonlijke intellectuele ontwikkeling. Gaandeweg wordt duidelijk wat evolutie betekent, wat natuurlijke en seksuele selectie is, en waarom Darwin schreef dat zijn overtuiging dat soorten kunnen evolueren bijna gelijk stond aan het bekennen van een moord. Ten slotte bespreekt Braeckman de toepassingsmogelijkheden van Darwins inzichten binnen de huidige cultuur- en gedragswetenschappen, zoals in de evolutiepsychologie.
