Williams (May 12, 1926–September 8, 2010), the author contends that certain classic works of evolutionary theory and history are the most important nature writing of recent times. What it means to be scientifically literate—is essential for humanistic scholars, who must ground themselves with literary reading of scientific texts. As the most influential American evolutionary theorist of the second half of the twentieth century, Williams masters critique, frames questions about adaptation and natural selection, and answers in a plain, aphoristic writing style. Williams aims for parsimony—to “recognize adaptation at the level necessitated by the facts and no higher”—through a minimalist writing style. This voice articulates a powerful process that operates at very low levels by blind and selfish chance at the expense of its designed products, using purely trial and error. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Literature and the Environment; Literature, Science and Medicine Studies; nature writing; evolutionary | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-11650-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-11652-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-11650-6Series ISSN 2946-3157 Series E-ISSN 2946-3165 | | issn_series | 2946-3157 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
