The Oxford Landmark Science series is a collection of influential science books republished by Oxford University Press. The series brings together classic works from different scientific disciplines, including James Lovelock’s Gaia, Roger Penrose’s The Emperor’s New Mind, and Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. Each book was chosen because it made a significant contribution to scientific understanding when first published.
The series covers a broad range of subjects. Readers will find books on evolution, quantum physics, cosmology, biochemistry, and the history of Earth’s atmosphere. While Richard Dawkins edited The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing, which is part of this collection, the series features many different authors and does not need to be read in any particular order.
