Darwin 's sacred cause. Race, slavery and the quest for human origins
Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009.. 1st U.S. Edition. XXI +, 484 p., 16 p. of plates : ill., maps extensive, index, notes and bibliogr. HARDCOVER: (Orig cloth, with gilded spine. Pictorial dustjacket. UNUSED thus NEW)
¶ Charles Darwin's ideas resonate deeply in Western culture today, and his theory still lies at the heart of modern scientific evolutionary research. As other nineteenth-century figures fade, Darwin's theory of evolution still provokes controversy, spilling over into curriculum battles at state and local school boards in the United States and around the world. There is a mystery surrounding Darwin: How did this quiet, respectable gentleman, a pillar of his parish, come to embrace one of the most radical ideas in the history of human thought? Darwin risked a great deal in publishing his theory of evolution, so something very powerful--a moral fire--must have propelled him. That moral fire, argue authors Desmond and Moore, was a passionate hatred of slavery. They draw on a wealth of fresh manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, diaries, and even ships logs to show how Darwin s abolitionism had deep roots in his mother s family and was reinforced by his voyage on the Beagle as well as by events in America. Leading apologists for slavery in Darwin s time argued that blacks and whites were separate species, with whites created superior. Darwin believed that the races belonged to the same human family, and slavery was therefore a sin

Darwin. [English edition.]
London, Michael Joseph, 1991 Bound, cloth with original dustjacket, xxi+807pp., 16x24cm.,91 b/w. ills., in very good condition. (dustjacket with minimal traces of use). ISBN 9780718134303. This biography embraces the entire scope of Victorian science, religion and society in its panoramic sweep. It puts the man and his science back into context, posing the question of how such a stickler for respectability as Charles Darwin could not only rock the scientific establishment, but construct a theory that threatened the fabric of society in the 1830s, when England teetered close to revolution? The authors explore the fiery debates during Darwin's student days in Edinburgh, his drunken revelries in prostitute-ridden Cambridge, sobering up on the "Beagle" and his clandestine work on evolution in London before fleeing to rural Kent.
