Description:In the mid-1850s, no scientist in the British Empire was more visible than Richard Owen. Mentioned in the same breath as Isaac Newton and championed as BritainOCOs answer to FranceOCOs Georges Cuvier and GermanyOCOs Alexander von Humboldt, Owen was, as the "Times" declared in 1856, the most OC distinguished man of science in the country.OCO But, a century and a half later, Owen remains largely obscured by the shadow of the most famous Victorian naturalist of all, Charles Darwin. Publicly marginalized by his contemporaries for his critique of natural selection, Owen suffered personal attacks that undermined his credibility long after his name faded from history.aWith this innovative biography, Nicolaas Rupke resuscitates OwenOCOs reputation.
