《自達爾文以來》講了“進化”這個概念。達爾文自己並不用這個概念，他只是在《物種起源》的最後一段才用到這個詞，而且是作為權宜性對比才這樣用的，他自己的用法是“帶有改變的繼承（descent with modification） ”。自然選擇本身就是對環境的適應，並沒有從低到高的方向性，並不代表進步。從“帶有改變的繼承”到進化，人們保留了人類的中心地位，保留了世界觀（進化論最初是為了與關於上帝的信仰相

Leonardo da Vinci lived an itinerant life. Throughout his career – from its beginnings in the creative maelstrom of fifteenth century Florence to his role as genius in residence at the court of the king of France – Leonardo created a kind of private universe for himself and his work. Leonardo also spent a great deal of time away from his easel, pursuing his interest in engineering, natural science, sculpture, poetry, fables, music, and anatomy. In the time that another artist would finish a series of paintings, Leonardo would work on one. Sometimes a painting would take decades, accompanying him on his travels as he worked on other commissions.Leonardo's private world was both vibrant and active. It sometimes did and at other times did not interact with the wider world. But what emerged from it has established Leonardo as the definition of the Renaissance Man.

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible format. Charles II has always been one of the most instantly recognisable British kings -- both in his physical appearance, disseminated through endless portraits, prints and pub signs, and in his complicated mix of lasciviousness, cynicism and luxury. His father's execution and his own many years of exile made him a guarded, curious, unusually self-conscious ruler. He lived through some of the most striking events in the national history -- from the Civil Wars to the Great Plague, from the Fire of London to the wars with the Dutch. Clare Jackson's marvellous book takes full advantage of its irrepressible subject.
