Biology and More

Very possibly the contributors to this volume represent the most forward-thinking scholars in political science and public administration of the present day. One can suggest this with some confidence since these writers are attempting what too few social scientists do, namely to understand human social behavior in its scientific and evolutionary context. In an era when informed persons no longer doubt the accuracy of Darwin's findings with respect to the origin of species, including homo sapiens, the social sciences tend to spin on as though Darwin had never existed. Thus it is a signal of avantgardism to bring into the study of government, politics, and public administration concepts and perspectives linking humans to their biological nature. This has been done broadly and theoretically in the first part of the book; with a view to assisting the scholar of public administration in the second part; and with an eye to the implications for policy making in the third. Thus in one volume there are provocative ideas for the theorist, the academic researcher, and the practitioner. Given that there are nineteen contributors to the volume, unevenness of quality and insight is inevitable. But for those who want access to some of the most useful emerging approaches to understanding government, this book will be well worth reading.
