Product Description

Cambridge: The Magazine of the Cambridge Society

Distin's prose is lively, clear and wonderfully interesting. . . It encourages and challenges the reader to explore the ideas it addresses.


Review

‘Distin‘s discussion is even-handed and informative for those wishing to update themselves on the current state of play in the field.‘ Scientific and Medical Network Review

‘A model of clarity, the book‘s appeal is wide - from philosophers to sociologists, anyone interested in how cultures change will benefit from reading The Selfish Meme. Her rigorous approach makes her theory more palatable than other theories of cultural evolution.‘ Philosophy Today

The Selfish Meme is a very readable and thought provoking book, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to open-minded students and scholars in any biological, anthropological or sociological field.' Cambridge (the Magazine of the Cambridge Society)

5.0 out of 5 stars from genes to memes, 16 May 2005
By M. E. Hassell (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is philosophy for the people. It's intellectually rigorous but not in the least dry. Distin leaps from genes to memes and helps us think about how our culture evolves. Is it all mapped out for us from birth, leaving us without any chance to influence our destiny? Or are we thinking beings in spite of our cultural DNA?
Thought provoking, stimulating and most of all a ripping good tale.
