- Davis would develop from an impressive high-school athlete into a legend While everyone agreed Ernie Davis was a miracle player few thought this quiet young man would become an icon for the burgeoning civil rights movement dividing America in the early 1960s Refusing to play by the unspoken racist rules of the day Davis broke through one barrier after another to alter the way fans looked at men of his color Though leukemia struck the player a terrible blow in the prime of his life his spirit soared when most would crumble Forcing his bull-headed coach to re-examine a life lived in color-based privilege Davis would join the ranks of black pioneers who inspired a movement that smashed barriers on & off the playing field Actors Dennis Quaid Rob Brown Nelsan Ellis Darrin Dewitt Henson Clancy Brown Charles S Dutton Geoff Stults Aunjanue Ellis Saul Rubinek Enver Gjokaj Chelcie Ross Frank Grillo & Christian Stolte Director Gary Fleder Certificate PGYear 2008 Screen Widescreen 2401 Anamorphic Languages English

In The Selfish Gene Richard Dawkins crystallized the gene's eye view of evolution developed by WD Hamilton & others The book provoked widespread & heated debate Written in part as a response The Extended Phenotype gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of the gene as the unit of selection; but it did much more besides In it Dawkins extended the gene's eye view to argue that the genes that sit within an organism have an influence that reaches out beyond the visible traits in that body
- the phenotype
- to the wider environment which can include other individuals So for instance the genes of the beaver drive it to gather twigs to produce the substantial physical structure of a dam; & the genes of the cuckoo chick produce effects that manipulate the behaviour of the host bird making it nurture the intruder as one of its own This notion of the extended phenotype has proved to be highly influential in the way we understand evolution & the natural world It represents a key scientific contribution to evolutionary biology & it continues to play an important role in research in the life sciences The Extended Phenotype is a conceptually deep book that forms important reading for biologists & students But Dawkins' clear exposition is accessible to all who are prepared to put in a little effort Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas & shaped the way we think
