The Watch on the Heath by Keith Thomson
Galileo once wrote that the Bible tells us how to go to Heaven, but not how the heavens go. From the Greeks to the present day, thoughtful people have struggled to reconcile the discoveries of science with religious belief and authority.'Beautifully told…[a] luminously clear account of the relation between faith and science' Independent on Sunday
'Combines his tales of the academic melodrama with scholarly assessment of the growing momentum of evolutionary thought.' Financial Times
Keith Thomson has recently retired as Professor of Natural History and Director of the Oxford University Museum. He has previously been Professor of Biology and Dean at Yale University. He has written widely on the history of science, including HMS Beagle: The Story of Darwin’s Ship and Living Fossil: The Story of Coelacanth.
