This volume is a comprehensive reference work on the life, labors
and influence of the great evolutionist Charles Darwin. With more
than sixty essays written by an international group representing
the leading scholars in the field, this is the definitive work on
Darwin. It covers the background to Darwin's discovery of the
theory of evolution through natural selection, the work he produced
and his contemporaries' reactions to it, and evaluates his
influence on science in the 150 years since the publication of On
the Origin of Species. It also explores the implications of
Darwin's discoveries in religion, politics, gender, literature,
culture, philosophy and medicine, critically evaluating Darwin's
legacy. Fully illustrated and clearly written, it is suitable for
scholars and students as well as the general reader. The wealth of
information it provides about the history of evolutionary thought
makes it a crucial resource for understanding the controversies
that surround evolution today.
