Description
In her illuminating study, Browne delves into the long genesis of Darwin's theories, from his readings as a university student and his five-year voyage on the Beagle, to his debates with contemporaries and experiments in his garden.
She explores the shock to Darwin when he read of competing scientist's similar discoveries and the wide and immediate impact of Darwin's theories on the world. As one of the launch titles in Atlantic Monthly Press' Books That Changed the World series, Browne's history takes readers inside The Origin of the Species and shows why it can fairly claim to be the greatest science book ever published.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"It may seem peculiar to write a biography of a book, but Darwin's Origin of Species is certainly a worthy subject....This excellent introduction is highly recommended for all...who want to better understand the heated debates that this book still causes today." (Publishers Weekly)
