The Structure of Evolutionary Theory, Gould's massive, digressive, and provocative magnum opus, is, as Mark Ridley wrote in The New York Times, "a magnificent summary of a quarter-century of influential thinking and a major publishing event in evolutionary biology." In it, Gould attempts to trace the history of evolutionary thought and chart a path for its future. Time's Arrow/Time's CycleCambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1987. 240 pages. In Time's Arrow/Time's Cycle, Stephen Jay Gould reconsiders the discovery of deep time by focusing on "the three cardinal actors on the British geological stage — the primary villain and the two standard heroes", that is, Thomas Burnet, James Hutton, and Charles Lyell.
