Still, Owen was a provocative bully, accused of plagiarism, and the only man Charles Darwin claimed to hate since Owen staunchly opposed his ideas about natural selection despite sharing similar views himself. This biography gives an account of Owen's life and work and offers some speculation about the reasons behind his controversial behavior and strained relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178914762X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789147629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.12w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024","brand":"Patrick Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302218821887,"sku":"9781789147629","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1144f6c-8d40-4c10-a6bf-7428b628e474.jpg?v=1695160207","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-owen-patrick-armstrong-9781789147629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
