Introducing evolution :
Evans, Dylan
Introducing evolution : a graphic guide by Dylan Evans and Howard Selina. - London : Icon Books, ©2001 - 176 p. : ill. ; 17 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory - evolution by natural selection. This guide takes us through Darwin's 'dangerous idea' step by step and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. This book places Michel Foucault's work in its turbulent philosophical and political context, and critically explores his mission to expose the links between knowledge and power in the human sciences, their discourses and institutions. It explains how Foucault overturned our assumptions about the experience and perception of madness, sexuality and criminality, and the often brutal social practices of confinement, confession and discipline.
