Descrizione del libro

In this book, one of the most influential books about Darwin published in recent years, Ospovat shows that Darwin's views changed radically from his first formulation of evolution by natural selection to the publication of the Origin of Species in 1859. By firmly placing Darwin within the intellectual milieu of his day, Ospovat concludes that he was not the recluse of popular myth. This seminal work should be read by all those interested in the history of modern biology.
