I just noticed that Nature's Oracle: A Life of W. D. Hamilton by Ullica Segerstrale is finally on Amazon's website for pre-orders (expect it sometime in 2008). You can view the table of contents online. Seeing as how R.A. Fisher's biography (written by his daughter!) made the man seem something of an ass I'm a bit trepidatious about biographies of men of science, but Defender's of the Truth treated Hamilton with some sensitivity, so I'm not that worried.
