Editorial Review Book Description Champion of modern education, creator of an intellectually dominated profession, T.H. Huxley epitomized the rise of the middle classes as they clawed power from the Anglican elite. Written with enormous zest and passion, Huxley is about the making of our modern Darwinian world.

Great Bio! We Could Sure Use a Huxley Today in USA!
One of the best science biographies ever
Exhaustive and exhausting As for the book's material, it is never less than fascinating.Desmond is a thorough researcher, and he never fails to explore the major events in Huxley's life in proper detail. He is also enormously well-schooled in the world of Victorian science, university politics, and culture.Although he makes even the slightest struggle in Huxley's life seem like a battle for all time, he also succeeds in making "Hal" a truly sympathetic and utterly unparalleled individual.I had no problem with the straight narrative structure as other reviewers seem to have had, but many, many names popped in and out of the story with little information to refresh my memory and this grew tiresome. In short, I recommend giving this book a shot.You may tolerate or even enjoy Desmond's prose.There is a lot of wonderful information about a wonderful and remarkable man to be imbibed.However, be warned that it will most likely be a murky, if hot and spicy, pool to wade through.
Theory, ideology and paradigm mechanization
