    by Arthur Wallace Pickard, Cambridge ...

The avoidance of evolution's vertical dimension has, ... Read more

  • The Biological Universe

    Life in the Milky Way and Beyond

    by Wallace Arthur ...

They will be thinly spread, to be sure ... Read more

    Humanity is fast approaching the point of being able to answer the age-old question: Are we alone in the cosmos? The answer will almost certainly turn out to be 'no'.

  • Understanding Evo-Devo

    by Wallace Arthur ...
    Series series Understanding Life
    Why do the best-known examples of evolutionary change involve the alteration of one kind of animal into another very similar one, like the evolution of a bigger beak in a bird?

That is now changing, with the growth of the interdisciplinary ... Read more

  • The Spicy-Adventure MEGAPACK ®: 25 Tales from the "Spicy" Pulps

    by Robert Leslie Bellem, Victor Rousseau, Arthur Wallace, Ellery Watson Calder, Atwater Culpepper ...
    The pulp magazines of the early to mid 20th Century are often "politically incorrect" by modern standards.
