Omschrijving

A lucid, passionate probe into what makes life move-Darwin, And After Darwin, Volume II now returns in a refined edition fit for today's readers. This volume builds a thoughtful bridge between a scientific treatise and an essay collection, surveying heredity in evolution, the utilitarian function in nature, and the lively questions surrounding animal psychology inquiry. It offers a clear through-line for science student readers and academic researchers alike, framed within a Victorian context and the British scientific tradition that shaped late nineteenth-century thought. Read as natural history text and as a dialogue with peers in evolutionary biology, it invites both careful study and wide-ranging reflection. Romanes writes with vigour about how living systems transmit traits, how usefulness and function shape form, and how mind and instinct might be understood within nature's broader design. The prose balances rigor with human curiosity, making complex ideas accessible without surrendering intellectual depth. The book's enduring appeal lies in its place at the crossroads of science and literature, where inquiry meets culture, and where ideas that once sparked debate still resonate today. Out of print for decades, this edition by Alpha Editions is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-reverent of history, faithful to context, and ready to inspire new conversations among scholars and curious readers alike.
