Darwin in Scotland

by J.F. Derry

The first book on Darwin and Darwinism that wholly concentrates on his time spent in Scotland and the key contributions to his future insights made by the Scottish Enlightenment and the University of Edinburgh. It is also the first to explore the subsequent impact of his work on modern-day biologists and covers all the major issues in evolutionary study through interviews with scientists, educators and creationists.

Well this is a very technical book, almost felt you had to be in the science to read it. However I did read it all the way through. Partly because the professor asked me to write a small section for him, and as he had listened to my discussions with Richard Dawkins, told me that he would put anything in I wrote without edit. Which he did, thank you for that. I ended up with a stronger view of my original opinion, not where the Author would have had me go I am sure, an honest book.

My greatest achievement to date? A much misunderstood and wrongly maligned book.
