Libro en perfecto estado y poco leído. La tapa no tiene desperfectos y si procede, con sobrecubierta para las tapas duras. Incluye todas las páginas sin arrugas ni roturas.

Reviews
"The emphasis throughout on how analogies can influence belief is important and persuasive. All told, Alter has provided a rich and rewarding account of the often subtle connections that bound the nineteenth-century sciences of language and life."--Gregory Radick, British Journal of the History of Science, ''Alter has teased out the linguistic threads by which Darwin supported his theory of species descent and has rewoven them into the context of linguistic science in the nineteenth century. He provides by far the most comprehensive discussion of the contributions made by linguists for and against Darwin's theory. There are lessons here for the contemporary understanding of human evolution.''--Robert J. Richards, University of Chicago ''Alter's analysis of the ways natural history and linguistics enriched each other in the nineteenth century is a real intellectual treat. The book goes beyond an identification of the broad, cross-disciplinary appeal of the idea of common descent to explore and illuminate the diverse stakes that were involved in the construction of parallels between species and languages. Anyone interested in Darwin, linguistics, or the role of analogies and metaphors in science should find this to be a fascinating study.''--Richard W. Burkhardt Jr., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ''Anyone who is fascinated by diagrams showing the genealogy of the Indo-European family of languages, typically shown on the inside cover of dictionaries, and who enjoys noting instances of convergence between the sciences and the humanities, will like this short, elegantly written book. It draws expertly both on Charles Darwin's theoretical notebooks and on recent scholarship in the history of linguistics.''--Sandra Herbert, University of Maryland at Baltimore County
