Reviews
'Herbert's book is first rate. The introduction more than adequately prepares students for the superbly-chosen documents that follow.' - James J. Sack, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA 'I like how the author has presented natural history as international endeavour and how she shows the personal connections among the authors represented in the volume's documents.' - Shirley Roe, University of Connecticut, USA 'Herbert's volume covers a great deal of terrain with grace and clarity, and overall strikes a fine balance between introducing material for first-time readers and pointing toward next-level questions for reflection. It flows together beautifully, is written in a scholarly yet somewhat conversational tone that students will greatly appreciate, and the scholarship is exemplary.' - Katherine Pandora, University of Oklahoma, USA 'A good and useful volume for courses that spend a week or two on Darwin and the origins of evolutionary biology.' - Robert Friedel, University of Maryland, USA

Synopsis
Closely examine the era of scientific thought from the late eighteenth century onward, and the startling discoveries that led to the conclusion that life has evolved in Charles Darwin and the Question of Evolution., The publication of On the Origin of Species is widely regarded as a turning point in knowledge of the natural world. But Darwin's theory of natural selection was not developed in a vacuum; rather, it was culmination of an enormous shift in scientific and popular opinion. This engaging collection of documents examines this era of scientific thought.

It came exactly as it was shown in the pictures. As a fan of Great Courses material this was a good find for a good price, since most of these transcripts for older Great Courses are hard to find and are more expensive. Nonetheless, good seller!
