Darwin (3rd Edition)

This latest edition is more extensive and diverse than its predecessors, featuring a greater selection of Darwin's own writings and incorporating the latest research and scholarship on all facets of Darwin’s enduring legacy. Evolutionary concepts have left an indelible mark on not only the biological sciences but also on social thought, philosophy, ethics, religion, and literature. Excerpts from recent significant works affirm the continuous influence of Darwinian ideas.

The intellectual history surrounding Darwin is further illuminated by contributions from leading figures in the field such as Richard Dawkins, Edward O. Wilson, Kevin Padian, and others. The editor's comprehensive introduction provides context and coherence to the wealth of material offered, promising to shape human thought for years to come.

Scientists and historians alike will find value in this edition, with Charles Taylor of the University of California, Los Angeles noting that "The Norton Darwin provides the most comprehensive explanation of Darwinian evolution and the associated social and intellectual conflicts of the past two centuries." The humanities and social sciences will also benefit greatly from this edition, according to James R. Kincaid from the University of Southern California, who praises it for offering unparalleled insight into our intellectual heritage.

Included in this edition are a Selected Bibliography and an Index, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in delving into the profound impact of Darwin's work.
