This book focuses upon Social Darwinism, analyzing the concept, exploring its social origins, showing how people metaphorically sat upon Darwin's coat-tails to further their own campaigns, justifying everything from capitalism to socialism, war to peace, race and empire to Nazi-style eugenics. These reflective essays showcase the author's many years of Darwinian research and cover the period from 1859 to World War II (mainly in the British arena). \u003ci\u003eDarwin's Coat-Tails\u003c\/i\u003e also sheds light on current challenges, from ethnic cleansing to genetic engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Crook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820481386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820481388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 136","brand":"Paul Crook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540345254143,"sku":"9780820481388","price":118.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da2833c1-54e4-4b8c-a2b0-cb76c3b709dd.jpg?v=1700587381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darwins-coat-tails-paul-crook-9780820481388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
