About this title

Synopsis

Galatea, or the Future of Darwinism

W Russell Brain

Originally published in 1927

"A brilliant exposition…of the evolutionary hypothesis." The Guardian

"Should prove invaluable…" Literary Guide

This non-technical but closely-reasoned book is a challenge to the orthodox teaching on evolution known as Neo-Darwinism. The author claims that although Neo-Darwinian theories can possibly account for the evolution of forms, they are quite inadequate to explain the evolution of functions.

Automaton, or the Future of Mechanical Man

H Stafford Hatfield

Originally published in 1928

"It is impossible to do justice to his volume in a brief review…"Daily Herald

At the time of original publication mankind’s chief inventions had been extensions of his senses or limbs. This work prophesies the dawn of an era in which substitutes will gradually be found even for the human brain.

J W N Sullivan

Originally published in 1927

"So packed with ideas it is not possible to give any adequate r�sum� of its contents." Times Literary Supplement
