After this there are selections showing Darwin's influence on science, on social thought, on philosophy and ethics, on evolutionary theory and religion and on 'the literary mind'. There is, finally, a list of further reading. This third edition is larger and considers many aspects of Darwin's impact left out of earlier editions. While the editor admits that the selections he has included, and the contributions from which he has quoted, do not tell the whole picture, they still give readers a solid introduction to one of the nineteenth century's most seminal thinkers.
