Anna
David Penhallow-Scott and Jane Hoff have written a fascinating and charming biography of Anna and the five generations of her family as it settled in the Hawaiian Islands. They came as missionaries and sea captains but grew to be power-brokers who mingled and intermarried with royalty. Family photographs and letters complete the intimate look into the sometimes eccentric goulash of relatives who left an indelible mark on Hawaii as it grew from a kingdom into a U.S. territory and state.

Disseminating Darwinism
This innovative collection of original essays focuses on the ways in which geography, gender, race, and religion influenced the reception of Darwinism in the English-speaking world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The contributions to this volume collectively illustrate the importance of local social, physical, and religious arrangements, while revealing that neither distance from Darwin's home at Down nor size of community greatly influenced how various regions responded to Darwinism. Essays spanning the world from Great Britain and North America to Australia and New Zealand explore the various meanings for Darwinism in these widely separated locales, while other chapters focus on the difference it made in the debates over evolution.
