Science
Gould's essays are on science, including evolution and paleontology -- but they're also about the human condition. Whether he's talking about how nature develops complex structures, the differences between science and religion, the human tendency to misinterpret science and statistics, or how scientific knowledge develops, I find his writing inspirational and interesting. His voice will be missed.
