Description:
From fossil-hunting to the end of faith- a gripping narrative history of the seventy-five-year culture war that transformed how we think about the universe and our place in it




In 1811, when the self-schooled daughter of a carpenter pulled some strange-looking bones from Britain's southern shoreline, few people dared to question that the Bible told the accurate history of the world. But Mary Anning had discovered the 'first' dinosaur, and over the next seventy-five years - as the science of palaeontology developed, as Charles Darwin posited theories of evolutionary biology, and as religious scholars identified the internal inconsistencies of the Scriptures - everything changed.




By the 1850s, dinosaurs were a prominent feature of the second Crystal Palace exhibition. By the 1860s, when Matthew Arnold stood on Dover Beach and saw faith ebbing away, Britain had plunged into a crisis of religious belief. By the 1870s, T.H. Huxley - Darwin's 'bulldog' - was preaching a new history of the world in which mankind was merely an accident of evolution. By 1886, following a six-year battle which had seen him beaten, imprisoned, and forcibly removed from Parliament, Charles Bradlaugh was able to take his seat in the House of Commons as the first openly atheist MP.




Told through the lives of the men and women who found these vital fossils and who fought about their meaning, some humble, some eccentric, some utterly brilliant, Impossible Monsters tells the story of the painful, complicated relationship between science and religion over these seventy-five years, of the growth of secularism, and of the role of dinosaur

Finally, a lotion that doesn't feel like a layer of grease
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve always hated using lotion because of that sticky, slippery feeling, but this Gold Bond Men's Essentials is different. It actually absorbs in about 15 seconds as advertised and leaves my skin feeling smooth but totally dry to the touch. The Spring Water/Sandalwood scent is clean and masculine without being overpowering or smelling like a "perfume". Perfect for daily use after a shower. This hand cream soaked in just like the packaging says in less than 15 seconds. I could feel the difference in my cracked cuticles almost immediately. HIghly recommend.

Works great in the winter!
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body lotion really saved me this winter - easy to use pump, easy to apply post-shower and absorbs well while providing a good barrier to the winter weather. This has a clean scent that subsides overtime unlike many other brands that soak you scent but not the elements.
