I am the author and editor of several books about science. I am particularly interested in the public understanding of evolution and genetics, as well as of nature of science. The books I have written have been very well received, and they are considered to be well-written and accessible to a broad audience. I believe that scholars should do society a service by serving as public intellectuals who educate non-experts on topics. This is a contribution I would very much like to make through my books, as well as through the book series Understanding Life (https://www.cambridge.org/understanding)Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Many historical figures have their lives and works shrouded in myth, both in life and long after their deaths. Charles Darwin (1809–82) is no exception to this phenomenon and his hero-worship has become an accepted narrative.

This concise, accessible and engaging collection unpacks this narrative to rehumanize Darwin's story and establish what it meant to be a 'genius' in the Victorian context. Leading Darwin scholars have come together to argue that, far from being a lonely genius in an ivory tower, Darwin had fortune, diligence and – crucially – community behind him.

The aims of this essential work are twofold. First, to set the historical record straight, debunking the most pervasive myths and correcting falsehoods.

Second, to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of science itself, relevant to historians, scientists and the public alike. .
