"Treasure Your Exceptions" 

The Science and Life of William Bateson

William Bateson brought the work of Mendel (and much more) to the
attention of the English-speaking world. He commanded the biological
sciences in the decades after Darwin's death in 1882. To understand
these years we must first understand Bateson. Through examination of the
life of a major contributor to the turn-of-the-century revolution in
biology, Cock and Forsdyke reconcile the genocentrism of George Williams
and Richard Dawkins with the hierarchical thinking of Richard
Goldschmidt and Stephen Jay Gould. The arguments of Bateson against
Darwin are only now, a century later, gaining recognition. Evolutionists
can at last present a unified front to their creationist opponents.
