About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 1994. xviii, 462, 37 b/w illus. . HB. Fine in d/w.. Richard Owen (1804-1892) was, after Darwin, the leading naturalist of nineteenth-century Britain. A distinguished anatomist and palaeontologist, he was influential in Victorian scientific reform and in the debate over natural selection. Leader of the nineteenth-century museum movement, he founded London's monumental Natural History Museum, wrote and published copiously, and won every professional honour. Owen was, however, a controversial figure whose disagreements with colleagues developed into epic power struggles, the most notorious of which were with Darwin and Huxley. Owen was the most renowned opponent of natural selection. This first full-fledged biography of Owen presents the complete range of his scientific and intellectual achievements.. [9780300058208]
