书籍简介：

– The Commemorative anniversary edition of this landmark work which powerfully encapsulates a new way of looking at living things – a gene's eye view – 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.
