Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Large Size Book, 1st printing. In a chest of drawers left by his grandmother, author Randal Keynes found the writing case of Charles Darwin's beloved daughter Annie, who died at the age of ten. Within the box, among the typical keepsakes of a Victorian girlhood, were the n…otes Darwin kept as he cared for Annie through her final illness. For Keynes, a great-great-grandson of Darwin, Annie's writing case became the point of entry into the story of Darwin's family life and its influence on the development of his revolutionary understanding of man's place in nature. Keynes takes us into the family's private world and draws on a wealth of previously unseen material to show Darwin at home and trace his private struggle with his faith. Particularly fascinating is the revealing portrait of Emma, Darwin's wife- a complex woman, both tolerant and devout- who was in many ways ahead of her time. Emma and Charles were close and loving parents, and it was by observing his children that Darwin gleaned many of his insights into man's animal origins as he worked secretly on his theory of evolution. What emerges with fresh charity in these pages is the importance of Darwin's life with his family in his deepest thinking, and how his home was his most treasured laboratory- the place where his ground-breaking ideas were formulated, and could be tested, on his most precious subjects- his ten children. When Annie fell ill, Darwin was at her bedside day and night, doing all he could for her, making copious notes about her deteriorating health, bringing her "beautifully good" tea. Keynes shows how the pain of her loss cast a shadow over Darwin's thinking about the natural world and the struggle for life. Her death also inflamed the mental turmoil over religion and the existence of God that he had experienced since his return from the voyage of HMS Beagle. As Darwin's theories continue to shape much of our thinking about the roots of human nature, Darwin, His Daughter, and Human Evolution reveals the personal experience from which he drew his most deeply held ideas. Keynes's rare insight gives us a fuller picture of one of our most maverick thinkers we will never separate the scientist from his home and family again. eautifully good" tea. Keynes shows how the pain of her loss cast a shadow over Darwin's thinking about the natural world and the struggle for life. Her death also inflamed the mental turmoil over religion and the existence of God that he had experienced (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. MAXWELL, James Clerk. And George Howard Darwin. "On a Possible Mode of Detecting a Motion of the Solar System through the Luminiferous Ether. In a Letter to Mr. D. P. Todd," in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London; London, Harrison & Sons, Vol. XXX, No. 200, December 1879 July, 1880; ix, 599pp,…with the Maxwell on pp 108-110. Beautifully and newly rebound in calf-backed marbled boards. There is some very occasional foxing here and there, but only for a few pages at a time (see photo). [++] The paper by (the deceased) Maxwell is actually not quite a paper by Maxwell, but a report by George Stokes on a letter that Maxwell wrote to D(avid) P(eck) Todd, so of course the content belongs to Maxwell, the resulting impact of which was providing a basis for the Michelson-Morley experiment. " Then in his article Ether for the Encyclopedia Britannica he again reviewed the problem of motion through the ether. The only possible earth-based experiment was to measure variations in the velocity of light on a double journey between two mirrors. Maxwell concluded that the time differences in different directions would be too small to detect. He proposed another method from timing the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter, which he later described in more detail in a letter to the American astronomer D. P. Todd, published after his death in the Royal Society Proceedings [the paper offered here] and in Nature. His statements there about the difficulties of the earth-based experiment served as a challenge to the young Albert Michelson, who at once invented his famous interferometer to do it."--Complete DSB online (Maxwell) [++] Also in this volume is: G.H, Darwin, "On the Analytical Expressions which give the History of a Fluid Planet of Small Viscosity, attended by a Single Satellite" on pp 255-278 AND "On the Secular Changes in the Elements of a Satellite revolving about a Tidally Distorted Planet" pp 1-10, which is Darwin's "resonance theory" on the origin of the Moon being a product of fissioning from Earth the Earth theoretically at one time spinning so rapidly that centrifugal force spun out material into orbit which would then become the Moon. This is different from the "resonance theory" of Charles Darwin, on the similarity of cross-species interpretation of rhythm. ["Another group of papers, dated from 1879 to 1880, are concerned with the tides in viscous spheroids, and still show the influence of both Kelvin and Laplace, although their scope is more general. In his paper of this series, On the Precession of a Viscous Spheroid and on the Remote History of the Earth (1879), Darwin proposed the resonance theory of the originated from the fission of a parent earth as the result of an instability produced by resonant solar tides. His monumental paper On the Secular Changes in the Elements of the Orbit of a Satellite Revolving About a Tidally Distorted Planet was published in 1880 [the paper offered here].
