Darwin's Legacy by John Dupr
Presents an introduction to evolution and what it means for our view of humanity, the natural world, and religion. This book explains the right and the wrong ways to understand evolution. It is suitable for those interested in the understanding what the theory of evolution can and can't do.
..a stimulating and sometimes entertaining account of Darwin's theory and of its continuing influence on our lives today. * Contemporary Review *
Vigorously argued and very readable, Darwin's Legacy is a razor-sharp analysis of the limits and the power of evolution. * The Guardian *
Dupré's account of how he believes evolutionary theory has inflicted a "fatal injury" to "the pretensions of religion" provides a wonderful counterpoint to Creationist dogma. . . . Dupré's wonderfully succinct explanation of evolutionary theory is a good enough reason in itself to buy this book; however, with the forces of the religious right keen to mount an offensive on these shores, it's the eloquent and uncompromising argument that may prove indispensable. * The Independent *
