The celebration of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday in 2009 begins in November 2005 with the opening of a major exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, curated by Eldredge, that will travel across the US. This is a book to accompany the exhibition.
NILES ELDREDGE is a curator at the American Museum of Natural History and the author of many books on evolutionary theory including the "combative yet intelligent" (The Guardian) Why We Do It (ISBN 0 393 32695 0) which "showed once again that great accessible science writing isn't just about boasting."
