Darwiniana: Essays and Reviews Pertaining to Darwinism

About this book

This vintage book contains Asa Gray's 1889 collection of essays on the subject of Darwinism. The articles champion the theory of evolution from a botanical standpoint, but also seek to reconcile Darwin's theory with religion, which Gray did by making a case for theistic evolution – a marriage of theology and the theory of evolution. This fascinating volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the in the work of Charles Darwin, and it would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. Asa Gray (1810 - 1888) was one of the most esteemed and influential botanists of nineteenth century America, most famous for this collection of essays. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
