Before Darwin.

This fine book places the work of Charles Darwin in the context of earlier writers on evolutionary theory. The author, Professor of Natural History at Oxford University, traces the multiple conflicts and accommodations within religion and the new sciences. Included is the writing of David Hume, Robert Hooke, John Ray, Erasmus Darwin, Thomas Burnet and William Whiston.
