The year is 1831. Charles Darwin is invited aboard the Beagle for a voyage into uncharted waters. For Millie, Ian and Tom, getting to grips with a 1998 stage version of events has effects on their own lives.

Humane, gentle, self-effacing, and remarkably free from the racism that blighted so many of his contemporaries, Wallace is one of the neglected giants of the history of science and ideas. This biography puts him back to centre stage.

With Beyond Evolution, Anthony O'Hear takes a stand against the fashion for explaining human behaviour in terms of evolution, and argues that an individual is not bound by his or her genetic and cultural inheritance.

What does it mean to be female? Mother, carer, the weaker sex? Think again. In the last few decades a revolution has been brewing in zoology and evolutionary biology. Lucy Cooke introduces us to a riotous cast of animals, and the scientists studying them, that are redefining the female of the spe...

As the fuss over Darwin's 'Origin of Species' was getting heated, a fossil was found in Germany. Christened Archaeopteryx, half bird and half reptile, it was hailed as the missing link. This is the story of a remarkable fossil.

This life of Darwin begins with one of the secrets of his success - he was rich. He made major contributions to the study of geology, he virtually invented the science of ecology and he wrote two books which changed our view of life on Earth and man's place in the natural order.

This volume charts the evolution of living species all the way from 2.5 billion years ago, through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and right through to today.

The author of this book argues that, although it is difficult for a Darwinian to embrace Christian belief, it is by no means inconceivable and in doing so he contributes a valuable perspective on the relationship between religion and science.
