«Ocho cerditos» is the essay collection by Stephen Jay Gould, published by Editorial Crítica in paperback (608 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of essays in which the author reflects on natural history with his characteristic blend of erudition and clarity: evolution, paleontology, curious episodes in the history of science, and surprising aspects of living beings.
It is part of the series «Reflections in Natural History» (volume 6) and was originally published in English in 1993 as «Eight Little Piggies: Reflections in Natural History». Translated by Oriol Canals Casacuberta.
For readers of science and popular science, especially those interested in evolutionary biology, natural history, and paleontology.
Stephen Jay Gould was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and one of the most widely read authors of popular science of his generation. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential figures in evolutionary biology. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1996, Gould was hired as the Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University, after which he divided his time teaching between there and Harvard.
