Book Synopsis
In the mid-1850s, no scientist in the British Empire was more visible than Richard Owen. This is a biography of Owen.

Trade Review
"This is not a standard biography in the traditional sense, but a marvelous interrogation of one of Victorian Britain's major scientists. It succeeds in capturing the remarkable and multifaceted career of Richard Owen himself, while at the same time opening up the entire culture of British natural history in the nineteenth century. An outstanding work." - David Livingstone, Queen's University Belfast"
