PORTABLE PROFESSOR is a series of exciting and informative lectures recorded by some of today's most renowned university and college professors. Each course introduces listeners to fascinating, and sometimes startling, insights into the intellectual forces that shape our understanding of the world. Each package includes 14 riveting lectures presented by notable professors as well as a book-length course guide.
The publication of the Origin of Species in 1859 sent shockwaves through Victorian society. Few scientific breakthroughs have so powerfully changed the way we look at our world and ourselves as Darwin's theory of evolution. And few ideas have generated as much controversy, misunderstanding, and misapplication even after a century and a half of currency. From the Scopes "Monkey" Trial to current-day creationism, from "Social Darwinism" to eugenics, Chandak Sengoopta's thought-provoking course examines Darwin's central theory and traces its impact on society, from the nineteenth century to today.Chandak Sengoopta holds degrees from the University of Calcutta, Cornell University, and Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in the history of science, medicine, and technology. He is currently senior lecturer on the history of modern medicine and science at the University of London, and is the author of numerous publications, including the books Imprint of the Raj: How Fingerprinting was Born in Colonial India and Otto Weininger: Sex, Science, and Self in Imperial Vienna.
