内容提要 :
"This new [third] edition provides the sharpest and most exciting access to Darwin we have ever had. Professor Appleman knows more about Darwin and his commentators than anyone around, and he offers us here a canny and generous way to read and to teach what Darwin said and what others
have imagined he said. This edition allows us to hear and to speak to the past as no other I know; it shows all of us, any of us interested in the heart of our intellectual heritage, how that heritage is sustained, manipulated, and honored."
James R.Kincaid, Professor of English, University of Southern California "ADDleman's Darwin is a must for all enlightened readers who wish to ob-tain a comprehensive understanding of the historical development and im-pact of the evolutionary framework on the modern worldview. It is a rich,unique, and indispensable source of facts and ideas surrounding the issues of evolutionary thought. This important book is of great value to the stu-dent, teacher, scholar, and general reader."
"Today, when science is assaulted by religious flmdamentalists on one side and postmodernists on the other, it is more important than ever to under-stand what Darwin really wrote and said. This anthology provides Darwin's own words along with a range of commentary on their meaning and impli-cations for living, as well as for scholarship."
"Darwinian evolution has served as a lightning rod for some of the most important social and intellectual conflicts of the past two centuries. The Norton Critical Edition of Danwin explains l)arwinian evolution and illus-trates these confrontations better than any book that I am aware of."
Charles Taylor, Professor of Biology, University of California, Los Angeles "Philip Appleman's Darw…is a well-balanced collection of extracts from Darwin's own work, his commentators, and his intellectual descen-dants to the present day…worth acquiring for Appleman's essays alone."

"The best Darwin anthology on the market" (Stephen Jay Gould, Harvard) has just become better, in this newly revised version of the now classic Norton Critical Edition, first published in 1970. The impact of Charles Darwin's work on Western civilization has been broad and deep. As much as anyone in the modern era, he changed human thought, and his influence is still felt in virtually all aspects of our lives. This new edition, larger and more varied than the previous ones, includes more of Darwin's own work and also presents the most recent research and scholarship on all aspects of Darwin's legacy. The biological sciences, as well as social thought, philosophy, ethics, religion, and literature, have all been shaped and reshaped by evolutionary concepts. Excerpts from the most important books and articles of recent years confirm this Darwinian heritage. New work by Richard Dawkins, Edward O. Wilson, Kevin Padian, Eugene C. Scott, Steven Pinker, Daniel Dennett, Michael Ruse, Frans de Waal, Noretta Koertge, George C. Williams, George Levine, Stephen Jay Gould, Gillian Beer, Ernst Mayr, and many others illuminates this exciting intellectual history. A wide-ranging new introduction by the editor provides context and coherence to this rich body of engaging material, much of which will be shaping human thought well into the new century. This edition will be useful to scientists and historians alike: "The Norton Darwin explains Darwinian evolution and illustrates the social and intellectual conflicts of the past two centuries better than any other book that I am aware of." (Charles Taylor, Professor of Biology, Ecology, and Evolution, University of California, Los Angeles) And it will be of great value to the humanities and social sciences as well: "The edition provides the sharpest and most exciting access to Darwin we have ever had. It shows all of us interested in the heart of our intellectual heritage how that heritage is sustained, manipulated, and honored." (James R. Kincaid, Aerol Arnold Professor of English, University of Southern California) A Selected Bibliography and an Index are included.
