Cover Legend

The painting entitled "Dream caused by the flight of a bumblebee around a pomegranate, a second before awakening" by Salvador Dalí (1944), with its fruit, insect, fish, mammal, human sequence may be considered as a surrealist interpretation of the Theory of Evolution. It was also chosen as a cover illustration in commemoration of the forthcoming centenary of the birth of the renowned Spanish artist, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989). © Salvador Dalí, Fundación Gala-Salvador Dalí, VEGAP, Leioa, 2003 and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain.
