Hello,
I just read a New York Times article saying that the paleontologist Stephen
Gould passed away today.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/20/obituaries/20CND-GOULD.html
Quoted from the obituary...
>Stephen Jay Gould, the evolutionary theorist at Harvard University whose
>lectures, research and prolific output of essays helped to reinvigorate
>the field of paleontology, died today at his home in Manhattan. He was 60
>years old. The cause was adenocarcinoma, his wife, Rhonda Roland Schearer,
>said.
I've been interested in reading his books "Rocks of Ages" and "Leonardo's
Mountain of Clams and Diet of Worms". Does anyone on this list have any
comments on these?
