Evolution The Shandyan dilemma 18 Jan 201219 Jan 2012 Reginald Hill, author of the Dalziel and Pascoe detective series among many others, has died. This is a partial post I started some time back, so I thought I’d post it as is. In Recalled to Life, Reginald Hill has one of his two protagonists, Pascoe, interview an ex-nanny who… Read More
History It’s official – Wittgenstein wins in a landslide 11 Mar 2009 Leiter’s poll has Wittgenstein beating Frege. I’m disappointed that Peirce didn’t get a higher ranking, and astonished the Nietzsche did. Read More
Evolution My species article online at RNCSE 19 Dec 2007 A little while back I published an article on species concepts in Reports of the National Center for Science Education, and I just discovered that it is available on the web. This is actually abetter format than the published version, which has weird columns and layout. The citation is Wilkins,… Read More
I never did Italian, so I don’t know the right things. They told me June. Bugger. I don’t have a physical copy yet.
Well done, John. Don’t forget to have Cal send a review copy to your favorite weekly science journal beginning with N.
Well, it’s a play on the Naturphilosophen view that one can “see” a species rather than define it, you see…

congratulations! (and “Quel excitement !”, excitement being masculine — but you might prefer “Quelle excitation !”)
Wow. That’s brilliant. Congratulations. I bet it feels good to touch. As soon as Morgs saw me open up the University of California Press website he started conjuring ways to get us a US mailing address ASAP! 🙂
Goes on my wishlist…unless there’s a paperback version in the offing! Has Katsuhiro Otomo picked up the rights yet? — Martin
Not available anywhere yet, John, until September. I am investigating the cost – a sister volume is only $39.95US and it has colo[u]r, so given that I gave up my royalties on the first run, I expected it to be lower in price. I don’t know what the paperback will cost, but I hope it will be in the US$20-30 range.

So, when I buy my (suitably) expensive copy, how do I get it autographed? Wanna signed copy, too!! (A word to the wise, though, be very wary of anything a lawyer wants you to sign.)
Many congratulations, John. Philosophers usually baffle me (a humble historian) with their terminology, but this is one I must try. Does the price look high? Judging by some academic books I have seen lately, US$50 or so looks almost reasonable, but it depends on the yoyoing A $ rate. Not available in Australia yet?
Congratulations! I’m glad that University of California Press has opened their author list to gorillas … next, the bonobos will be publishing literary criticism and field studies.

In that book I don’t delve much into bacterial species – that was something fairly recent. But I do have a published paper on the topic (unfortunately, they mixed up the figures – you can work out which is which easily).
As long as they only leave publishing open to the great apes, I don’t think we have to worry about cdesignists getting in… I do look forward to reading it when it becomes available. Just out of curiosity, do you delve into bacterial and viral “species” at all or do you stick with eukaryotes?
