I first read The Selfish Gene in the 1980s, as a graduate student in neurobiology and animal behaviour. I admired the clarity with which biologist Richard Dawkins distilled mid-twentieth-century work in evolutionary biology. The idea at the core of the book, published in 1976, was thrillingly simple: that a living organism is just a gene’s

The Japanese tradition of momijigari, or “red leaf hunting,” stretches back more than a millennium, as evidenced by ancient poems describing journeys to admire fall foliage. In America, mentions of foliage trips began appearing in the historical record in the 19th century, around the time artists and poets such as Frederic Church and Emily Dickinson
