Rosenblatt\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarwin did not discover evolution. He didn't trip over it on the way to somewhere else the way Columbus discovered the New World. Like the atom, planetary orbits, and so many other scientific constructs, evolution was invented in order to explain striking phenomena. And it has been most successful. A century and a half has not simply confirmed Darwin's work, it has linked evolution to the mechanisms of life on the molecular scale. It is what life does. Where Darwin had drawn his theories from forest and field, we now set them in the coiling and uncoiling of twists of DNA, linking where they might, with a host of molecular bits and pieces scurrying about. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDarwin, himself, however, has been a closed story. A century and a half of study of the man and his work, including close readings of his books, his notebooks and letters, and even the books he read, has led to a working appreciation of his genius. The 'success' of this account has, however, kept us from seeing several important issues: most notably, why did he pursue evolution in the first place? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuckets from an English Sea\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new view of what inspired Darwin and provoked his work. Stunning events early in the voyage of the \u003cem\u003eBeagle\u003c\/em\u003e challenged his deeply held conviction that people are innately good. This study of 1832 highlights the resources available to the young Darwin as he worked to secure humanity's innate goodness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLouis B.
