Fresh from his election to the first London School Board in 1870, Huxley argues for what the boards can and should do, attacks the doctrine of administrative nihilism, and sets out reforms for medical education. The rest of the volume turns to popular science: lectures on yeast, the formation of coal, coral reefs and the methods of ethnology.
Lucid, combative essays by Darwin’s great champion, though the ethnology reflects Victorian racial classification. Download the free EPUB.
