Bat Detectors
Ever since the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859 Darwin's legacy has been a comfort and a scourge, but never irrelevant. Michael Rose's overview of applied Darwinism discusses the most important concepts in evolutionary theory - variation, selection, and adaptation - and then examines its many modern applications - from advanced modern agricultural practices to the inhumanities of the Nazi eugenics programme.
`[This book] will be a lightning rod among books on the great naturalist. Rose's emphatic opinions will ensure the book will not be ignored. Other trade books have also explored Darwinism and its modern meaning, but Rose's is unique in its combination of a frankly historical placing of Darwin's ideas, its consideration of their many ramifications for modern life, and its grand conjectures about the future', Steven M Austad, author of Why We Age.
