  About This ePub

  All online versions (pdfs on torrent, web, Library Genesis) derive from the same set of doc files of an anonymous source, identified at evolbiol.ru and dated 2003.07.26-09.23. The html version at http://scilib-biology.narod.ru/Gould/index.html is in all likelyhood based on the same docs (styles reminiscent of Word conversion, layout, etc.), but exceptionally clean. From all these version, just like the original, the Index is omitted.

  The [UL] PROPER version adds the Index, ripped from the Amazon free preview, cleaned of watermarks with SnagIt, run through Nitro PDF, then OCR-ed in Abbyy FineReader with text verification. The correctness of page numbers has been checked on several random points (basically, same edition of the book, 6th printing for the scan).

  The [UL] pdf is based on the ubicuous doc-pdf conversions found elsewhere (particular version used was distilled by IDM, dated 2008.08.13) with the following changes: accurate pagination, proper bookmarks, metadata of P2P versions, added cover.

  The [UL] html/ePub is based on the narod.ru html with the following changes:

  * footnotes linked

  * index linked

  * minor stylistic changes: color of page numbers changed to [UL] style; uniformization of table display to the main text font; elimination of hr tag

  * minor html code edits, for validation purposes

  * identified errors tacitly corrected; no systematic proofreading made

  * validated HTML 4.01 Transitional and CSS 3 at w3.org (N.B. The html code contains numerous attributes on the way to deprecation in HTML 5, such as attributes "border", "align", "width", "cellspacing", "cellpadding", etc. for the table element; attribute "center", attribute "name", etc. Bringing this in compliance with HTML is a task for a future editor)

  Many thanks to the original scanner and to narod.ru for the clean html.

  [UL]

  Free of Calibre style junk code.
