In "The Darwin Myth", author Benjamin Wiker offers a critical analysis of Darwin’s theories as well as the social, scientific, and religious implications of his work, leading us to the inevitable truth about Darwin’s powerful - yet ultimately poisonous - legacy. Scientists often challenge conventional wisdom and spark debates that last for generations. But no scientist has fuelled more debate than Charles Darwin. To some he is the revolutionary ’father’ of evolution. To others he is the perverse ’originator’ of modern eugenics. And in "The Darwin Myth: The L

Gillian Beer’s landmark book demonstrates how Darwin overturned fundamental cultural assumptions in his narratives, how George Eliot, Thomas Hardy and other writers pursued and resisted their contradictory implications, and how the stories he produced about natural selection and the struggle for life now underpin our culture. This second edition incorporates a new preface by the author and a foreword by the distinguished American scholar George Levine.Book DescriptionThis revised edition of Professor Dame Gillian Beer’s highly acclaimed book incorporates a new preface by the author

This volume includes many letters previously unpublished, and chronicles a year that was enlivened by scientific controversy and filled with scientific queries and discussions relating to Darwin’s transmutation theory. His love of botany and his expanding experimental program is well depicted by correspondence with professional botanists, horticulturalists, and hobbyists. Nine appendixes provide additional information from the Darwin Archive and from nineteenth-century publications. The letters also provide glimpses of life among the Victorian gentry and reveal the practical and emotiona
