The legend of Charles Darwin has never been more alive or more
potent, but by virtue of this, his legacy has become susceptible to
myths and misunderstandings. Understanding Charles Darwin examines
key questions such as what did Darwin's work change about the
world? In what ways is 'Darwinism' reflective of Darwin's own
views? What problems were left unsolved? In our elevation of Darwin
to this iconic status, have we neglected to recognise the work of
other scientists? The book also examines Darwin's struggle with his
religious beliefs, considering his findings, and whether he was
truly an atheist. In this engaging account, Peterson paints an
intimate portrait of Darwin from his own words in private
correspondence and journals. The result is the Darwin you never
knew.
