This comprehensive work is a fresh look at an idea central to the field of biology by tracing its history from antiquity to today. \u003ci\u003eSpecies\u003c\/i\u003e is a benchmark exploration and clarification of a concept fundamental to the past, present, and future of the natural sciences. In this edition, a section is added on the debate over species since the time of the New Synthesis, and brings the book up to date. A section on recent philosophical debates over species has also been added. This edition is better suited non-specialists in philosophy, so that it will be of greater use for scientists wishing to understand how the notion came to be that living organisms form species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Selling Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCovers the philosophical and historical development of the concept of \"species\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eDocuments that variation was recognized by pre-Darwinian scholars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes a section on the debates since the time of the New Synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBetter suited to non-philosophers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John S.
