Darwin 200 marks the bicentenary in 2009 of the birth of one of the world's greatest scientitsts: Charles Darwin.This collection of essays,specially commissioned as part of the Darwin 200 programme, takes its title from Darwin's own assessment of what had determined his success as a man of science: 'the love of science - unbounded patience. . . . industry in observing and colecting facts - and a fair share of invention as well as common sense.' 'Darwin for the love of science' celebrates Darwin's considerable achievements within the context of nineteenth century life and demonstrates why they continue to be of relevance today. It is one project among many in 2009 which looks back at Darwin's achievements,debate his findings,and seek to develop further his theories.All of the essays here have been commissioned specially for this volume and are joined by over 250 illustrations,some of which have been rarely seen before.The essays are interspersed with shorter pieces on related subjects. Though the tone of the book is celebratory,it does not shy away from criticism,whether with reference to the creationist argument that evolution is inherently false,the intelligent design argument sees a role for a maker in the process or more scientifically rigorous challenges. But its main focus is Darwin's work and its impact,in the context of his own times through to the present day.
