Should scientists be free to teach what the evidence shows? Ernst Haeckel argues yes, defending the doctrine of descent against those who would fence off inquiry. He weighs development against older ideas of how life arose and makes the case for open study of nature's history. A spirited nineteenth-century manifesto on evolution and intellectual liberty. For readers who like their science with a fighting edge.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
