This listserv sends out brief descriptions only. For further
details, follow the link listed.
Please send me items to post to the list that would be of interest to
Society members: position announcements, postdoctoral announcements,
grant and funding opportunities, conference announcements, calls for
papers, and brief queries on research topics. The sooner you send me
something, the more likely that I will be able to have it posted
before its deadline.
Thanks!

1. New book by Alan G. Cock and Donald R. Forsdyke, Treasure Your
Exceptions: The Science and Life of William Bateson. Through the life
of this orchestrator of the turn-of-the-century revolution in
biology, the authors reconcile the genocentrism of George Williams
and Richard Dawkins with the hierarchical thinking of Richard
Goldschmidt and Stephen Jay Gould.

sense of how many natural and social sciences represent the
multi-level, multi-component, dynamic structures they study.
