Audio Books →The Huxleys An Intimate History of Evolution [Audiobook]

The Huxleys' specialty was evolution in all its forms-at the grandest level of species, deep time, the Earth, and at the most personal and intimate. They illuminated the problems and wonders of the modern world and they fundamentally shaped how we see ourselves. But perhaps their greatest subject was themselves. Bashford's engaging, brilliantly ambitious book interweaves the Huxleys' momentous public achievements with their private triumphs and tragedies. The result is the history of a family, but also a history of humanity grappling with its place in nature. This book shows how much we owe-for better or worse-to the unceasing curiosity, self-absorption, and enthusiasms of a small, strange group of men and women.
