Title: McShea, Daniel W.: Biology's First Law
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Daniel W. McShea and Robert N. Brandon argue that there exists in
evolution a spontaneous tendency toward increased diversity and
complexity, one that acts whether natural selection is present or not.
They call this tendency a biological law-the Zero-Force Evolutionary
Law, or ZFEL. Biology's First Law shows how the ZFEL can be applied to
the study of diversity and complexity and examines its wider
implications for biology.

------------------------------
Title: Lampert, Laurence: How Philosophy Became Socratic
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Plato's dialogues show Socrates at different ages, beginning when he was
about nineteen and ending with his execution five decades later. By
presenting his model philosopher across a fifty-year span of his life,
Plato leads his readers to wonder: does that time period correspond to
the development of Socrates' thought? In this magisterial investigation
of the evolution of Socrates' philosophy, Laurence Lampert answers in
the affirmative.
