From the library of the esteemed American paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould 1941-2002. In his essay "Worm for a Century" from the collection Hen's Teeth and Horse's Teeth: Further Reflections in Natural History 1983 Gould argued that this Darwin's first book on a specific subject is essential to understanding his theoretical approach: "This book is about coral but it is also about historical reasoning. Vegetable mold formed fast enough to measure its rate directly; we capture the past by summing effects of small and observable present causes. But what if rates are too slow or scales too large to render history by direct observation of present processes For such cases we must develop a different method. Since large-scale processes begin at different times and proceed at diverse rates the varied stages of different examples should exist simultaneously in the present. To establish history in such cases we must construct a theory that will explain a series of present phenomena as stages of a single historical process. The method is quite general. Darwin used it to explain the formation of coral reefs. We invoke it today to infer the history of stars. D. Appleton and Company hardcover
