Stephen Jay Gould’s Essays on Natural History: A Cumulative Index Hyperlinks A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A Word of Introduction. This large file comines the indeces of all ten volumes of Stephen Jay Gould’s collections of essays reprinted from Natural History magazine. The goal is to reduce the effort to locate the reference to a particular person, item, or event; and similarly, to allow the reader to find all references to (say) Luis Alvarez in all volumes in one place. The row of hyperlinks will take you directly to the beginning of each letter’s section. To see this list at all times, click on the “bookmarks” icon in Adobe (found on the upper left of the screen). The file itself is also searchable, so you may seek the key word of your interest directly. As with all of these tasks, the identifying nomenclature is given as three or four letters followed by a number. The letters identify the volume; ESD refers to “Ever Since Darwin,” for example. (The entire sequence is listed below, in chronological order.) Similarly, the number refers to the order in which the essay appears in that volume, following Gould’s own numbering scheme. For ease of identification, I include the essay’s title as well. ESD: Ever Since Darwin. TPT: The Panda’s Thumb. HTHT: Hen’s Teeth and Horse’s Toes. TFS: The Flamingo’s Smile. BFB: Bully for Brontosaurus. ELP: Eight Little Piggies. DIH: Dinosaur in a Haystack. LMC: Leonardo’s Mountain of Clams (and The Diet of Worms). LSM: The Lying Stones of Marrakech. IHL: I Have Landed. This cumulative index inevitably suffers from some limitations. First and foremost, different editions (e.g., hardback vs paperback) have different page numbering schemes in some cases. Therefore, this effort cannot identify specific pages, but only the essays in which they are contained. This, unfortunately, will require the reader to search more extensively for the indexed word. Second, indexing itself involves a large degree of flexibility to the indexer. As a result, some items that appear as top-level categories in some volumes only appear as sub-categories in others, and may not appear at all in still others. Rather than try to compensate for these idiosynchracies across different volumes, I have chosen the far simpler path of simply merging the identified words as they appear. Perhaps sometime in the future, all of these essays will appear in a single collection with a comprehensive unified index. Until then, I offer this as a limited substitute. Lawrence N.
