Demons in Eden. The Paradox of Plant Diversity. 2005. 8 col. pls. X, 169 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

There is a paradox atthe heart of the theory of evolution, writes the author. Natural selection favours above all the particular individual that leaves themost offspring, a super-organism that might be called the Darwinian Demon. If it existed, this theoretical ogre would populate the world with only its own kind and would extinguish all diversity. This book isa work of popular science which explores corresponding questions usingthe latest scientific theories and discoveries of evolutionary biologyand ecology and applied to plants.
