Sinossi
Thanks to his family's wealth and forbearance Dr Darwin's gifted son could devote all his time to his passionate curiosity about the natural world. No one could have made better use of such advantage, and his physical and intellectual excitement on the Beagle voyage comes freshly alive in thse pages, as do the years of work that followed that mind-altering experience.
Aydon's account of this brilliant thinker who was also a kindly and charming man, combines historical accuracy with lucid science. He explains what The Origin of Species was about and offers a ringside seat at the spendid row that followed publication. With conflict still raging over the teaching of creationism he allows us to appeciate fully the humanity and breadth of thought of the father of evolutionary theory.

Recensione
Many elegant observations . . . full of good sense, and written with an engaging lucidity and delicate wit. Aydon [is] a shrewd guide. (John Gardiner, BBC History Magazine)
Aydon acquits himself very well indeed, showing a command not only of biographical matter and the considerable literature of Darwiniana but also of the complex science involved. ... A good place to start for those new to Darwin's life and work. (Kirkus Reviews)

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Softcover. Condizione: Good. Charles Darwin changed our view of life on earth and man's place in the natural order for ever when he wrote "The Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man". He contributed in a major way to the study of geology and virtually invented the science of ecology. In this new life of one of the most written-about figures of history and science, Cyril Aydon combines historical accuracy with exemplary, lucid science to get to the heart of the man. In his consideration of "The Origins of Species", he offers a ringside seat at the splendid row that followed publication. And facilitates a full appreciation of the physical and intellectual excitement of the Beagle voyage. With a look at the changing fortunes of Darwinian theories over the past two centuries, the eminent naturalist still clearly succeeds in upsetting the status quo with international debate continuing to rage about the teaching in schools of creationism alongside or instead of evolution. 326 pages. Light tanning to pages. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Biography; Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 1841198013.
