{"product_id":"charles-darwin-e-janet-browne-9780691114392","title":"Charles Darwin: The Power of Place","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1858, Charles Darwin was forty-nine years old, a gentleman scientist living quietly at Down House in the Kent countryside. He was not yet a focus of debate; his \"big book on species\" still lay on his desk as a manuscript. For more than twenty years he had been accumulating material for it, puzzling over the questions that it raised, trying to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion, and wanting to be certain that his startling theory of evolution was correct. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is at this point that the concluding volume of Janet Browne's magisterial biography opens. Beginning with the extraordinary events that finally forced the \u003ci\u003eOrigin of Species\u003c\/i\u003e into print, we come to the years of fame and controversy. Here, Browne does dramatic justice to all aspects of the Darwinian revolution, from a fascinating examination of the Victorian publishing scene to a survey of the debates between scientists and churchmen over evolutionary theory. At the same time, she presents a wonderfully sympathetic and authoritative picture of Darwin himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Browne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691114390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691114392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.24w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2003 pg. 32","brand":"Janet Browne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994879787263,"sku":"9780691114392","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_606c33dd-c33d-46de-9cd3-15aef84997a6.jpg?v=1683332712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charles-darwin-e-janet-browne-9780691114392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
