Wikipedia gave me the short definition I suspect they are
going for (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltation):
"Saltation (biology), an evolutionary hypothesis emphasizing sudden
and drastic change."

Until I saw that, my geologist's brain was trying to figure out how the
next book on Theo could be related to the second definition they give:
Saltation (geology), a process of particle transport by fluids."
