Media Reviews
'The refreshing aspect of this rambling romp through the history and philosophy of the Darwinian revolution is that although Ruse is writing for young philosophers of science, he does so from a place of comfort both with the science and the history. In doing so, he provides the perfect introduction to this diffuse and contentious literature, which can be rather foreign terrain for uninitiated biologists.' John Reiss, The Quarterly Review of Biology
