Description

The big Darwin year of 2009 made me realize just how many ways there are to approach Darwin's life, his ideas, and his theory. I've read only a smattering of the books that have appeared on these subjects in the past few years, but even they range widely. Some authors, like David Quammen (2006), look at Darwin's life, while others, such as Jerry Coyne (2009), examine the theory. I consider both these books above average in their respective niches. Quammen's is succinct and gives the story some drama by focusing on Darwin's reluctance to publish about his theory Coyne does just about the best job I've encountered of laying out the argument for evolution both clearly and with a broad range of evidence. Then there are books that focus more narrowly on particular aspects of the man or his work. Here, as with the theory itself, there are endless possible avenues, and it seems that authors have trod a great many of them. I happen to be interested in visual representations in science, so I've read Jonathan Smith's Darwin and Victorian Visual Culture (2006), which is a broad review of Darwin's use of images in his books. Also, there's Julia Voss's recent Darwin's Pictures (2010), which is more focused, dealing with four images in depth. Even more specific is Constance Clark's God--or Gorilla: Images of Evolution in the Jazz Age (2008), which is less about Darwin's theory and more about how it was viewed in American popular culture. And these books are just on the subject of images.
