Compendium Of South African History And Geography Book

Lewontin and Levins follow up of their brilliant 'The Dialectical Biologist' follows a similar format. It rounds up old essays from a variety of sources and on a variety of topics, held together with a loose thread of dialectical thinking. Their combined lucidity is stunning and their still undimmed commitment to the cause is inspiring. As you would expect from a collection of this sort, the essays are inconsistent and sometimes rambling and repetitive. But the best of them are little masterpieces that you want to read out loud and want to make part of your way of thinking because they ring so true.
