Examining science as a rhetorical enterprise, this book seizes upon one scientific essay--"The Spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm: A Critique of the Adaptationist Programme"--and probes it from many angles. Written by prominent evolutionary theorists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard C. Lewontin and first published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London in 1979 , the "Spandrels" article is both serious science and vivid prose.

Stephen Jay Gould adds his own comments, and the full text of the essay "Spandrels" is reproduced as an appendix.
