Introducing Darwin - Jonathan Miller - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Introducing Darwin - Jonathan Miller - Bog - Icon Books - Plusbog.dk

Progress in genetics today would not be possible without Darwin''s revolution, but the mysterious man who laid the rational basis for undermining belief in God''s creation was remarkable timid. He spent most of his life in seclusion; a semi-invalid, riddled with doubts, fearing the controversy his theories might unleash.In this brilliantly lucid book - a classic originally published in 1982 - Jonathan Miller unravels Darwin''s life and his contribution to biology, and traces the path from his scientific predecessors to the later modifications that his own evolutionary theories required.Introducing Darwin brings alive the difficult progress from pre-Darwinian thinking to modern genetics and the devastatingly important impact of one man on our fundamental understanding of biology, life and ourselves.

Darwin in Ilkley - Mike Dixon - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Darwin in Ilkley - Mike Dixon - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When the Origins of Species was published on 24 November 1859, its author, Charles Darwin, was near the end of a nine-week stay in the remote Yorkshire village of Ilkley. He had come for the ''water cure''- a regime of cold baths and wet sheets - and for relaxation. But he used his time in Ilkley to shore up support, through extensive correspondence, for the extraordinary theory that the Origin would put before the world: evolution by natural selection. In Darwin in Ilkley , Mike Dixon and Gregory Radick bring to life Victorian Ilkley and the dramas of body and mind that marked Darwin''s visit.

Charles Darwin - Stephen Webster - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Charles Darwin - Stephen Webster - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

When Darwin announced his theory of evolution by natural selection, he did more than transform biology. Before his great work, humans were comfortably different from other life, a special creation. By showing how life on Earth evolved, Darwin told us that humans too are part of nature. His decisive experience – a five-year round-the-world voyage on the Beagle – set him thinking about the diversity of life, ideas that would challenge the scientific establishment and Victorian society. Darwin for years built his evidence for evolution, even as he realised that such ideas were leading him straight into controversy and dispute. This book gives a concise account of Darwin’s life and work, and makes vividly clear why his work continues to influence us all.
