A propos de cet article

Second printing as stated, of the first edition, signed by Dawkins on the title page. A fine clean tight bright copy, the only marking is Dawkins' autograph on the title page, full navy cloth covered boards with gilt title to spine, small spot at foot of spine, else fine. Unclipped dust jacket with minor edgewear and very light fading to spine. Considered one of the most important science books of the 20ieth century. Rare to find a signed early copy in such nice condition.

Synopsis

This book tells of the selfish gene. A world of savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit. But what of the acts of apparent altruism in nature the bees who commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, for example? Professor Dawkins holds out the hope that our species has the power to rebel against the designs of the selfish gene.
