As much as anyone in the modern era, he changed human thought & his influence is still felt in virtually all aspects of our lives. From science & concepts of society, to philosophy, theology & literature, Darwin's legacy will be discussed & debated for centuries to come, as it has been in the past. That legacy is the core of "Darwin", edited by Philip Appleman: selections from "The Origin of Species" & "The Descent of Man" are brought together w/ a wealth of materials on every phase of Darwin's influence. Rounding out the volume is a brilliant epilogue in which Professor Appleman evaluates Darwin's legacy from the perspective of the late 20th century, leaving little doubt about Darwin's place in the history of Western thought. In the revised 2nd edition, new departures in the biological sciences are shown to be consciously post-Darwinian developments: Edward O. Wilson on sociobiology, Konrad Lorenz on ethology, Carl Sagan on intelligence research, Margaret Mead on the evolutionary process, Jane Goodall on primate research, Richard Leakey on paleontology, Nicholas Wade on recombinant DNA research. A new postscript by Professor Appleman discusses these developments & their Darwinian origins. * HIGH PRAISE: "The Norton [Critical Edition] Darwin explains Darwinian evolution & illustrates the social & intellectual conflicts of the past two centuries better than any other book that I am aware of." - Charles Taylor, Professor of Biology, Ecology & Evolution, University of California, Los Angeles * "The best Darwin anthology" - Stephen Jay Gould, Harvard University * ABOUT NORTON CRITICAL EDITIONS: Each Norton Critical Edition includes an authoritative text, contextual & source materials, & a wide range of interpretations--from contemporary perspectives to the most current critical theory--as well as a bibliography, &, in most cases, a chronology of the author's life & work. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
