Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the evolutionary process, bridging the gap between creationism and Darwinism. The author supports an evolutionary hypothesis rooted in evidence drawn from paleontology, comparative anatomy, and biogeography. By closely examining the nature and origins of structures found in different species, the author argues that natural selection is not the only mechanism responsible for the diversity of life on Earth. The author also discusses the relationship between nutrition and function, the role of adaptation in variation, and the evolutionary significance of plasticity. By presenting a comprehensive overview of evolutionary theory, this book challenges the notion that creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive concepts. Instead, it offers a nuanced understanding of the complex processes that have shaped the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Explore how energy, matter, and natural processes shape the story of life.
This Acton Prize essay presents evolution as a workable scientific idea from a physiologist’s viewpoint, while offering a thoughtful check on how it relates to belief and meaning. It aims to give readers the reasons to accept evolution in a concise, accessible form, without claiming to be the final authority.
The author writes for those who already accept evolution in some form and seeks to clarify the case with practical, reasoned discussion. Readers will encounter the plan, scope, and key concepts of evolution as a natural, testable account of life’s origins and changes over time, from a medical and naturalist perspective.
- Two main origins theories are reviewed: separate creation and gradual evolution from simpler beginnings.
- Evidence for evolution is examined, including how organisms relate to their environments and how structure develops.
- Topics cover variation, inheritance, nutrition, and how these relate to reproduction and adaptation.
- The discussion also touches on how evolution intersects with philosophical and religious views.
Ideal for readers seeking a concise, thoughtful bridge between science and belief in the history of evolutionary thought.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
