Angels and Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life
Taking readers rapidly through popular themes in the lives of Lincoln and Darwin, who were born on the same day in 1809, Angels and Ages reinforces much of what readers already know about them, clarifies common misunderstandings, resolves a few mysteries, and throughout offers compelling reflection on how Lincoln and Darwin shaped the modern world.
Casting fresh and honest light on two figures distorted by years of excessive comment, quotation, and ideological appropriation, Angels and Ages is an original and personal account of the creation of the liberal voice, and of the way people live now and how they speak at home and in public.
