Rémy Collin's "Evolution," first published in 1958 in France as "L'Évolution: Hypothèses et Problèmes," finds its English translation in this 1959 edition by Hawthorn Books, New York. This hardcover edition, translated by J. Tester, explores the complex interplay between evolution and Catholic thought, making it a unique contribution to both scientific and philosophical discourse. As part of "The Twentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism," it offers a nuanced perspective on evolutionary theory from a religious standpoint. This first edition is particularly notable for its rarity in the English-speaking market. The book is in hardcover with a dust jacket that shows significant wear, including tears and edge damage, yet remains a valuable piece for collectors interested in the intersection of science and religion.
