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 610 $aevolution, evolutionary, theory, theoretical, theorist, history, historical, wwi, world war, darwin, darwinian, writings, ernst haeckel, 1800s, controversy, controversial, science, scientific, scientist, academic, scholarly, research, paleontologist, stephen jay gould, creationist, creationism, intelligent design, genes, adaptation, species, life story, biography, biographical. 615 0$aBiologists 615 0$aZoologists 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xHistory. 676 $a570.92 676 $aB 700 $aRichards$b Robert J$g(Robert John),$f1942-$01402776 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782666403321 996 $aThe tragic sense of life$93828746 997 $aUNINA
