In Praise of Darwin by Pleins, J. David

ISBN: 9781623565947 PUBLISHER: Continuum Publishing Corporation FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 416 PUBLICATION DATE: 21.08.2014 DIMENSIONS: 21.6 x 14 x 3.3 centimetres 1.2 pounds

DESCRIPTION: George John Romanes, close friend and colleague of Darwin, remains a misunderstood figure in the history of evolutionary science. Although his scientific contributions have been valued, his religious journey has been either neglected or misjudged. Scholars typically only acknowledge some of the work on theism he did at the very end of his life and usually blame his wife for doctoring the record with her pieties. Romanes's extensive poetry writing, much of it religious, has never been explored and his Memorial Poem to Darwin has been completely overlooked. The recent discovery of the original typescript of the poem, lost for more than a century and reprinted in this book for the first time, allows us to enter the mind of a major Darwinian as we watch him struggle to reconcile faith and science on a positive basis.
