"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. This commemorative anniversary edition of this landmark work - a gene's eye view of life - contains a newly written introduction by Richard Dawkins, the original prefaces including Robert Trivers' 1976 foreword, and an enlarged review section, with extracts from a range of early reviews."--Oxford University Press.
