Kim Sterelny. 2001. Dawkins vs. Gould: Survival of the Fittest. Totem Books
(or Icon Books in UK)
One of those which has collected dust on my shelf thus far :-(

It's pretty good. Mayr's a great writer.
More pertinent to this thread I went and bought Gould's _The Strcture of
Evolutionary Theory_ at over 1000 pages it nearly gave me a hernia. I
thought about renting a front end loader to get it out to my car. I'll have
to b careful when reading it not to drop it on my toes. Gould obviously has
a lot to say about evolution in that book :-)
I'm trying to read a couple of Howard Bloom's books right now.
