Darwin, and After Darwin, Volume 3 of 3
George John Romanes
The unfinished business of evolution fills this closing volume. Romanes presses into post-Darwinian questions, from isolation and physiological selection to the fiercest controversies among naturalists of the day. A careful, sustained reckoning with what selection could and could not explain. The final movement of a landmark exposition of Darwin's science.
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.
