reviewed Darwin on June 19, 2017 Darwin
I had to give this entire book and all of its components a pretty thorough reading for a class. I don't know if I would have given it the effort outside of an academic setting but I loved it for what it was. This book is great in that it discusses all aspects of Darwin's thought, the myriad detractors, and those who have sought to reinterpret the implications for political purposes i.e. Spencer using natural selection to explain the plight of the poor. Even Darwin, in spite of being very cautious about making all of his proposal (thus making his writings exceedingly wordy), is quite an enjoyable read.
