Progress Unchained: Ideas of Evolution, Human History and the Future (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781108842556)

Bowler charts developments in thinking about progress using the emergence of Darwinism in biology to throw light on parallel changes in the understanding of social development. He shows how linear models of progress headed toward a final goal have been replaced by open-ended views defined by innovation and diversity.
