Some Darwin-related Distractions
Hello Dear Readers,
as ever, apologies for the delay in getting the DISSENT OF MAN into your hands. I'm reliably informed that edits are going well, and it's taking a long time because ... well, it's a big book, with big names, on a big topic. Whilst waiting, I haven't been idle, but instead, I've been taking a look at some historical aspects of evolutionary thought and their related historiography: you may find them an interesting distraction. Meanwhile, I hope to get back to you soon, with an estimate of time to publication.

Any update?
The book went into editing in April 2022 so some idea of timeline would be good. Seven months in editing seems like it should be coming to an end?
It's been a decade since I backed the project so an update on where we are would be great.

Hi Matthew, thank you for your request and perseverance. All I can report is that I have asked for an update from Unbound.
