I am super-excited! I won a copy of 'Species: A History of the Idea' by
John S. Wilkins and it just arrived this evening (Can I get a BOOYAH)!
Of course that means I need to clear some things off my reading plate ASAP. I'm already sporadically reading Origin of Species (with 2 chapters for blog posts in the cue), Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and The Problems of Philosophy and I cannot take on another serious non-fiction book at the moment. Probably will whip through the rest of Russell's book in the next week or so and then I can crack the binding of 'Species.'
As an extra special bonus, my copy is signed by Dr. Wilkins, which I was not expecting and reflects my total awesomeness I'm sure.
Finally I want to plug '
Evolving Thoughts' as an excellent site to gain insights into the history of biological thought, biological philosophy, and definitely check out the
basic concepts posts for primers on various important scientific topics.

Wilkins is someone I would dearly love to have a beer with.
