PALM DESERT, Calif., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- With over one thousand referenced
quotations from scientists and historians, "Darwin, Then and Now" explores
scientific evidence over the past 150 years, from fossil records, molecular
biology, embryology, and modern genetics.
This newly released book written by Dr. Richard William Nelson, published by
iUniverse, is a journey through what has become the most amazing story in the
history of science; encapsulating who Darwin was, what he said, and what
scientists have discovered since the publication of "The Origin of Species" in
1859. Evolution is now a theory in crisis.
"Darwin, Then and Now" explores Darwin's driving passion using his own words
from "The Origin of Species," "Autobiography," "Voyage of the Beagle" and
personal letters. In retracing the roots of evolution from the Greeks,
"Darwin, Then and Now" journeys through the dynamics of the eighteenth century
leading to the publication of "The Origin of Species" and the succeeding role
of key scientists in the emerging evolution revolution.
Just two years before the publication of "The Origin of Species," in writing
to a friend, Darwin confided, "I am quite conscious that my speculations run
quite beyond the bounds of true science." With more than 300 quotations from
Darwin, "Darwin, Then and Now" is an expose on what Darwin actually said
concerning his "point of view" on the origin of species and natural selection.
While simple to understand, Dr. Nelson's book delivers a powerful and
provocative journey through the fascinating history of the theory of
evolution. The author's blog and Web site, http://www.darwinthenandnow.com,
provides a platform for discussion.
