Darwin’S Sciences

<b>A complete scientific biography of Darwin that takes into account the latest research findings, both published and unpublished, on the life of this remarkable man.</b><br /> <br /> Considered the first book to thoroughly emphasize Darwin’s research in various fields of endeavor, what he did, why he did it, and its implications for his time and ours.<br /> <br /> <p>Rather than following a strictly chronological approach – a narrative choice that characteristically offers an ascent to <i>On the Origin of Species</i> (1859) with a rapid decline in interest following its publication and reception – this book stresses the diversity and full extent of Darwin’s career by providing a series of chapters centering on various intellectual topics and scientific specializations that interested Darwin throughout his life. <br /> <br /> Authored by academics with years of teaching and discussing Darwin, Darwin’s Sciences is suited to any biologist who is interested in the deeper implications of Darwin’s research.</p>
