However, his remarkable achievements have sometimes overshadowed the man himself, leading to distortions in his portrayal. In this accessible book, Delisle and Tierney present a more nuanced and comprehensive view of Darwin, revealing his struggles to reconcile the traditional wisdom of an unchanging natural world with his revolutionary ideas about evolution. They argue that while Darwin sought to break free from his contemporaries' perspectives, he ultimately found himself confined by their more traditional outlook. Consequently, his theory emerges as a fascinating compromise between old and new ideas. By rediscovering this other Darwin and exploring the lesser-known aspects of On the Origin of Species, readers gain a deeper understanding of the immense challenges faced by 19th-century scholars and their remarkable accomplishments in shaping our understanding of life's diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350259768\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard G.
