520    "Two Centuries of Darwin is the outgrowth of an Arthur M. 
       Sackler Colloquium, sponsored by the National Academy of 
       Sciences on January 16-17, 2009. In the chapters of this 
       book, leading evolutionary biologists and science 
       historians reflect upon and commemorate the Darwinian 
       Revolution. They canvass modern research approaches and 
       current scientific thought on each of the three main 
       categories of selection (natural, artificial, and sexual) 
       that Darwin addressed during his career. Although Darwin's
       legacy is associated primarily with the illumination of 
       natural selection in The Origin, he also contemplated and 
       wrote extensively about what we now term artificial 
       selection and sexual selection. In a concluding section of
       this book, several science historians comment on Darwin's 
       seminal contributions. Two Centuries of Darwin is the 
       third book of the In the Light of Evolution series. Each 
       installment in the series explores evolutionary 
       perspectives on a particular biological topic that is 
       scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance 
       to contemporary societal issues or challenges. The ILE 
       series aims to interpret phenomena in various areas of 
       biology through the lens of evolution and address some of 
       the most intellectually engaging, as well as pragmatically
       important societal issues of our times."--Publisher's 
       description.
