<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The story of Darwin, his life, times, and some of the ... scientists who supported and advocated for him at the birth of the scientific revolution"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When Darwin finally published The Origin of Species in 1859, there was no guarantee that the grand theory of natural selection would become one of the most valuable ideas impacting biology and our modernity. It was so controversial that some disapproving scientists, many in the Church, and powerful others worked to stop it from becoming known and accepted.</p><p>This is the story of Darwin, his life, times, and some of the brave scientists who supported and advocated for him at the birth of the scientific revolution.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"At a time when denial of scientific evidence could lead to the end of our species and many others, here is an entertaining and accessible book about the search for the origin of species, including ours.<br /> Here too is an account of the battles that ensued after Charles Darwin proposed his theory and the brave 'apostles' who explained and defended his ideas in the face of religious attack. As a great-great-grandson of Darwin, I applaud this terrific book and hope that non-scientists and scientists alike will be inspired by it to fight today's battle, the battle for science in the face of mindless greed." -- Matthew H.D. Chapman, writer, director, and activist</p><br>
