But, with detractors ranging from paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould to modern-day creationists and advocates of intelligent design, Haeckel is better known as a divisive figure than as a pioneering biologist. Robert J. Richards's intellectual biography rehabilitates Haeckel, providing the most accurate measure of his science and art yet written, as well as a moving account of Haeckel's eventful life. 606 $aBiologists$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aZoologists$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiologists 615 0$aZoologists 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xHistory. 676 $a570.92 676 $aB 700 $aRichards$b Robert J$g(Robert John),$f1942-$0919283 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454118103321 996 $aThe tragic sense of life$92204300 997 $aUNINA
