Auction: Multiply-Signed Copy of Why Evolution Is True
Here is a belated but very welcome spinoff of our Moving Naturalism Forward workshop from 2012: Jerry Coyne was clever enough to bring along a copy of his book, Why Evolution Is True, and have all the participants sign it. He subsequently gathered a few more distinguished autographs, and to make it just a bit more beautiful, artist Kelly Houle added some original illustrations. Jerry is now auctioning off the book to benefit Doctors Without Borders. Check it out:
Here is the list of signatories:
- Dan Barker
- Sean Carroll
- Jerry Coyne
- Richard Dawkins
- Terrence Deacon
- Simon DeDeo
- Daniel Dennett
- Owen Flanagan
- Anna Laurie Gaylor
- Rebecca Goldstein
- Ben Goren
- Kelly Houle
- Lawrence Krauss
- Janna Levin
- Jennifer Ouellette
- Massimo Pigliucci
- Steven Pinker
- Carolyn Porco
- Nicholas Pritzker
- Alex Rosenberg
- Don Ross
- Steven Weinberg
Jerry is hoping it will fetch a good price to benefit the charity, so we’re spreading the word. I notice that a baseball signed by Mickey Mantle goes for about $2000. In my opinion a book signed by Steven Weinberg alone should go for even more, so just imagine what this is worth. You have ten days to get your bids in — and if it’s a bit pricey for you personally, I’m sure there’s someone who loves you enough to buy it for you.
