Hardback. Condition: Good. Virtually unknown today, Alfred Russel Wallace was the co-discoverer of natural selection with Charles Darwin and an eminent scientist who stood out among his Victorian peers as a man of formidable mind and equally outsized personality. Now Michael Shermer rescues Wallace from the shadow of Darwin in t…his landmark biography. Here we see Wallace as perhaps the greatest naturalist of his age--spending years in remote jungles, collecting astounding quantities of specimens, writing thoughtfully and with bemused detachment at his reception in places where no white man had ever gone. Here, too, is his supple and forceful intelligence at work, grappling with such arcane problems as the bright coloration of caterpillars, or shaping his 1858 paper on natural selection that prompted Darwin to publish (with Wallace) the first paper outlining the theory of evolution. Shermer also shows that Wallace's self-trained intellect, while powerful, also embraced surprisingly naive ideas, such as his deep interest in the study of spiritual manifestations and seances. Shermer shows that the same iconoclastic outlook that led him to overturn scientific orthodoxy as he worked in relative isolation also led him to embrace irrational beliefs, and thus tarnish his reputation. As author of Why People Believe Weird Things and founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, Shermer is an authority on why people embrace the irrational. Now he turns his keen judgment and incisive analysis to Wallace's life and his contradictory beliefs, restoring a leading figure in the rise of modern science to his rightful place.

Hardback. Condition: New. In Darwin's Shadow is the gripping story of the heretical British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace who co-discovered natural selection independently of his more well-known contemporary Charles Darwin. Utilizing a number of never-before-used archival sources that bring to bear new interpretations of this… most fascinating scientists, best-selling author Michael Shermer applies his training in both the history of science and psychology to reveal the life, science, and personality of Wallace to unravel the mystery of his scientific, quasi-scientific, and non-scientific ideas. Shermer's unique approach goes beyond narrative story-telling to analyse the science, culture, and ideas that lie beneath the life story, in a path-breaking approach to biography. Shermer presents the two major points of intersection and conflict between Wallace and Darwin, one so radical that Darwin accused his younger colleague of intellectual murder!Wallace has always appealed to lovers of travel and adventure stories, because that is the life he led: In Darwin's Shadow will also appeal to historians of science, readers of popular science, and fans of Shermer's previous books.

1.Auflage.. xx, 442 Seiten Schutzumschlag mit geringen Lagerspuren, innen sehr guter und sauberer Zustand. ---------------------------------------------------- Alfred Russel Wallace OM (* 8. Januar 1823 in Llanbadoc bei Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales; 7. November 1913 in Broadstone bei Poole, Dorset, England) war ein weitgehend autod…idaktisch gebildeter britischer Naturforscher. Bei seinem Aufenthalt im Malaiischen Archipel erkannte er, dass zwischen den indonesischen Inseln Borneo und Celebes eine biogeographische Grenze existiert, die später nach ihm als Wallace-Linie bezeichnet wurde. Unabhängig von Charles Darwin entwickelte er Ideen zur Evolutionstheorie. In seinen späteren Jahren engagierte er sich auch in sozialen Fragen. 9780195148305 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 887 8° , Hardcover/Pappeinband mit Schutzumschlag.
