No Dust JacketBook: New Condition and still wrapped in publisher's acetate covering (photo). No flaws or blemishes."The contemporary field of evolutionary developmental biology is still a new subdiscipline of evolutionary biology, but it deals with some very old questions: how shape and form in complex organisms change during evolution. Integral to this subject are developmental genetics and molecular biology, and, increasingly, systematics, paleontology, and population genetics as well. The integration of the latter three subjects into evolutionary developmental biology is still in its early stages, however.

Series: "Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science"

"This book is the first systematic treatment of the philosophy of science underlying evolutionary economics. It does not advocate an evolutionary approach towards economics, but rather assesses the epistemic value of appealing to evolutionary biology in economics more generally.

He then analyzes five examples of work in evolutionary economics falling under these three forms.
