Produktbeschreibung
"Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life" is a pioneering clinical and philosophical work written through Erasmus Darwin, an 18th-century English physician, herbal truth seeker, and grandfather of Charles Darwin. "Zoonomia" is a groundbreaking exploration of diverse elements of biology, medicine, and the natural international. Erasmus Darwin's "Zoonomia" is a comprehensive examination of the standards governing natural lifestyles. The book covers a huge range of subjects, which includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the philosophy of existence. Darwin's work become high-quality for its early advocacy of evolutionary ideas, as he recommended that species could change through the years via a technique of model. One of the maximum giant contributions of "Zoonomia" is its exploration of the idea of transmutation, which laid the groundwork for later evolutionary theories. Erasmus Darwin proposed the concept that all life forms shared a commonplace ancestry and that they could undergo slow variations to better suit their environments. Although not as well-known as his grandson Charles Darwin's later paintings on evolution, "Zoonomia" changed into an important precursor to the improvement of evolutionary thought. It also contributed to the wider scientific and clinical discussions of its time, making it an enormous work in the history of biology and herbal philosophy.

Autorenporträt
Charles Hodge (December 27, 1797 - June 19, 1878) was a Reformed Presbyterian theologian and Princeton Theological Seminary president from 1851 until 1878. He was a significant proponent of Princeton Theology, an orthodox Calvinist theological movement that flourished in nineteenth-century America. He strongly defended the Bible's authority as God's Word. In the twentieth century, many of his opinions were shared by Fundamentalists and Evangelicals. Charles Hodge's father, Hugh Hodge, was the son of a Scotsman who emigrated from Northern Ireland in the early eighteenth century. Hugh graduated from Princeton College in 1773, and after serving as a military surgeon during the Revolutionary War, he went on to practice medicine in Philadelphia. He married well-bred Bostonian orphan Mary Blanchard in 1790. The first three sons of the Hodges died in the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 and another in 1795. Hugh Lenox, their first surviving child, was born in 1796. Hugh Lenox went on to become an obstetrics expert, and he remained especially close to Charles, even financially assisting him.
