Book Synopsis
Borrowing from translation and reading studies and weaving together the history of science with intellectual history, this title explores Darwin's global appeal from the perspective of several generations of Arabic readers and shows how Darwin's writings helped alter the social and epistemological landscape of the Arab learned classes.

Trade Review
"A novel and important contribution to our understanding of the globalization of science in the nineteenth century. Marwa Elshakry's study will appeal not only to scholars of the modern intellectual and political history of the Middle East but also to an audience in the history of science, especially those working on imperial and colonial histories of science." (Timothy Mitchell, author of Colonising Egypt)"
