Professor Richard Dawkins is one of the most influential science writers and communicators of our generation. He was the first holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford, a position he held from 1995 until 2008, and is Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford. His bestselling books include The Extended Phenotype (1982) and its sequel The Blind Watchmaker (1986), River Out of Eden (1995), Climbing Mount Improbable (1996), Unweaving the Rainbow (1998), A Devil's Chaplain (2004), The Ancestor's Tale (2004), and The God Delusion (2007). He has won many literary and scientific awards, including the 1987 Royal Society of Literature Award, the 1990 Michael Faraday Award of the Royal Society, the 1994 Nakayama Prize for Human Science, the 1997 International Cosmos Prize, and the Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest in 2009.

- With a new epilogue by Richard Dawkins, discussing the continuing relevance of - --these ideas in evolutionary biology today
- Completely re-typeset, to make the book even more attractive to read
- Originally published in 1976, this book remains a classic work in the development of evolutionary thought, and its influence is undiminished today
- Includes the original prefaces including Robert Trivers' 1976 foreword, and extracts from a selection of early reviews
- Part of the Oxford Landmark Science range: 'must-read' modern science and big ideas, which have shaped the way we think
The million copy international bestseller, critically acclaimed and translated into over 25 languages.
As influential today as when it was first published, The Selfish Gene has become a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution – a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for their replication. This imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant work not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published.
This 40th anniversary edition includes a new epilogue from the author discussing the continuing relevance of these ideas in evolutionary biology today, as well as the original prefaces and foreword, and extracts from early reviews.
Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

評分我其實是斷斷續續讀過些彆的進化論、基因和進化心理學的流行讀物以後纔看瞭這本經典的。雖然懸念少些,但經典就是經典,每頁都非常值得。 基因和進化論放在一起,完全可以詮釋生命的來龍去脈。這是一個大體上自洽的體係,雖然很多細節還可以不斷完善。Dawkins其實說,隻要是碰...

評分一般來說,一本書能讓我精神高潮一次就不錯瞭,可是這本書,至少三次!
