Description: RICHARD DAWKINS THE SELFISH GENE FOLIO SOCIETY 2012 (Second Printing) A poll conducted in 2017 found The Selfish Gene to be the most influential science book of all time. It is undoubtedly Dawkins's magnum opus and a must to be consulted on the subject of gene-centric evolution.Dawkins argues that replication of the gene is the objective of all natural selection; hence expanding and likely completing Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Since its publication in 1976, The Selfish Gene has met with pointed criticism and some downright opposition from a coterie of scientists and philosophers. Certainly the controversy makes Dawkins's treatise all the more interesting to read. This copy of The Selfish Gene is LIKE NEW (FINE) with virtually no visible flaws. The boards are decorated in bronze, gold and black. Lettering on the black spine is in gold. Endpapers front and back are also gold. There are more than 50 photographic illustrations in color in three separate sections of the book. The gold slipcase is in perfect condition. This is a special edition meant for collector's of beautiful books. A very handsome publication by the Folio Society in cooperation with the Oxford University Press.
