Eva Jablonka is Professor at the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University. Marion J. Lamb was Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London, before her retirement. Jablonka and Lamb have collaborated on a number of journal articles and books, including Epigenetic Inheritance and Evolution (1995).
"An individual's personal experience can influence the
characteristics of his or her offspring. Some of the ways in which
this happens would have seemed heretical in the past. Eva Jablonka
and Marion Lamb's stimulating new book successfully challenges some
of the old orthodoxies. I recommend it warmly to anybody with a
serious interest in developmental and evolutionary biology."--Sir
Patrick Bateson, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge,
author of "Design for a Life: How Behavior and Personality
Develop"
"Another valuable perspective to the discussion... I found it
refreshing to read a science book that is a conscious attempt at
good literature."-- "Nature"
"As this important book by Eva Jablonka and Marion J. Lamb shows,
the twentieth-century 'neo-Darwins' told the evolutionary story in
their own particular way, and some of the richnes of evolution that
their forebear had described fell into neglect."-- ""The New
Republic""
"Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb have been challenging orthodoxy and
promoting heresy in genetics and evolution for twenty years. Their
systematic and comprehensive perspective on genetic, epigenetic,
behavioral, and symbolic inheritance in evolution is backed up with
detailed empirical data, illustrated in a wide survey of phenomena,
and presented in clear and forthright prose. Engaging illustrations
as well as instructive and entertaining philosophical dialogues
help make" Evolution in Four Dimensions" accessible to students and
interested general readers. Those intent on following the path of
genetic orthodoxy will now have to work harder than ever to ignore
evolution's other three dimensions."--James Griesemer, Professor of
Philosophy, University of California, Davis
"With courage and verve, and in a style accessible to general
readers, Jablonka and Lamb lay out some of the exciting new
pathways of Darwinian evolution that have been uncovered by
contemporary research."--Evelyn Fox Keller, MIT, author of "Making
Sense of Life: Explaining Biological Development with Models,
Metaphors and Machines"
