      By Gopnik, Adam
       2009., Alfred A. Knopf Call No: 973.7 G6598a   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your LibraryClick here to watch    Click here to view    More... Summary Note: On February 12, 1809, two men were born an ocean apart: Abraham Lincoln in a one-room Kentucky log cabin; Charles Darwin on an English country estate. Each would see his life's work inspire a stark change in mankind's understanding of itself. In this bicentennial twin portrait, Adam Gopnik shows how these two giants, who never met, altered the way we think about death and time--about the very nature of earthly existence.

      By Dobbs, David, 1958-
       c2005., Pantheon Call No: 551.424 D632r   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: This book examines, from a number of perspectives, a period of change in the nature of scientific thought, as represented in the 19th century debate over the formation of coral atolls and reefs between Charles Darwin and Alexander Agassiz, the son of Darwin's great opponent Louis Agassiz. Though the son opposed his father in siding with Darwin's theory of evolution, he made it his life's work to disprove Darwin's theory on coral; while ultimately shown to be incorrect, Agassiz's work laid the foundations of modern oceanography.
