«Las piedras falaces de Marrakech» is the popular science essay by Stephen Jay Gould, published by Editorial Crítica in hardcover (392 pages, in Spanish).
In six parts, Gould covers paleontology and natural history: how Buffon, Lavoisier and Lamarck created this discipline, the «century of Darwin» with Lyell and Wallace, excellence, the social consequences of science —from social Darwinism to eugenics— and the different scales of size and time in evolution.
Volume 1 of the Drakontos collection and ninth installment of the author's series «Reflections in Natural History». It was originally published in English as «The Lying Stones of Marrakech».
For popular science readers interested in paleontology, history of science and evolution.
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.
