Examines the importance of unbroken connections within our own lives and to our ancestors - a theme of supreme importance to evolutionists who study extinction as the ultimate fate of all species. Environmental deterioration and the massive extinction of species on our present earth is of concern. He chooses unusual and telling examples: the demise of the land snail Partula from Moorea (the Bali Ha'i of South Pacific); and why the battle that raged over the Mount Graham red squirrel of Arizona was worth fighting. There are more than thirty of those "pretty pebbles" that make Gould's work unique, opening to us the mysteries of fish tails and frog calls, of the coloration of pigeons, and the eye tissue of completely blind mole rats. We learn the story behind the bent tail of an ichthyosaur, how hearing bones evolved, and why we have five fingers and toes (the title essay) - as having evolved from ancestors that had six or eight fingers.

London: Earthscan Publications. 185 pp. Hardback, pictorial cover, as new condition. Explores how uncertainty is interpreted and used by policy makers, experts and politicians. It argues that conventional notions of rational, evidence-based policy making - hailed by governments and organisations across the world as the only way to make good policy - is impossible in highly complex and uncertain environments. The blind pursuit of such a rational goal is in fact irrational in a world of competing values and interests. Based on two high-profile case studies: the Iraq War, and climate change policy in the US, UK and Australia. Based on three years' research - including interviews with experts such as Hans Blix, Paul Pillar and Brian Jones. Both case studies show that treatment of uncertainty issues in specialist advice is often determined by how well the advice fits with or contradicts the policy goals and orientation of the politicians. One should not allow the debate to be side-tracked by arguments over whose expert advice is "more right". We must accept that uncertainty in complex issues is unavoidable, and recognise the values and interests that lie at the heart of the issues. Offers a hedging approach; this enables policy makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty. ISBN: 9781849710831. Our Book No: 14256. $56 AUD.
