Of Moths and Men: An Evolutionary Tale. Intrigue, Tragedy & the Peppered Moth

Description:

First edition. A gripping work of narrative nonfiction that re-examines the famous peppered-moth experiments long used as a classic example of natural selection. Blending science history, biography, and investigative reporting, Hooper explores the lives and rivalries of the researchers involved - most notably Bernard Kettlewell - while raising questions about experimental methods, scientific culture, and the making of evolutionary icons. Thought-provocing and accessible, it offers readers a vivid portrait of mid-20th-century evolutionary biology and the controversy that reshaped one of its most celebrated stories.
