His thoughts, ideas, research and writings have had a far reaching impact and influence on modern thought in the arts, on society, and in science.

A full account of the legacy of Darwin in contemporary scholarship and thought. With contributions from Janet Browne, Jim Secord, Rebecca Stott, Paul Seabright, Steve Jones, Sean Carroll, Craig Moritz and John Dupré.
