Experiments showing natural selection, when reset in a logical framework, are self-contained. They show that natural selection cannot occur beyond the experimental framework. Furthermore, the experiments cannot then be associated with adaptation and adaptation itself must be restructured. Because of this, four principles of adaptation are described, wherein two entities occur under the same condition, or one entity occurs under two conditions, or one entity is adapted to a second, or two or more entities are adapted to two or more conditions. These principles emerge from a wealth of empirical data, which are summarized by logically valid formulas. Hulburt’s account goes on to present the elements of set theory and demonstrate how biological data, ensconced in logical formulas, can be integrated in sets. This is a book of the 21st century, showing how biological data can be brought together and enhanced by logical and set theory formulation of the data. It is a primer on how to apply logic and set theory. At the same time it is interdisciplinary and so it is transformative. Natural Selection, Adaptation and Knowledge is a milestone to the future. Edward Hulburt acquired his Ph.D. from University of Michigan in 1954. He worked as an Associate Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1956 to 1986. Hulburt authored 56 papers on phytoplankton ecology and distribution in the world. Eighteen papers contain logical analysis.
