* An original study of Sir John Lubbock, written by an expert on both collecting practices and Sir John Lubbock. * A chance to learn more about the man who gave the nation bank holidays and the Ancient Monuments Act to protect our heritage. * An engaging chronological approach, accessible even for those with no prior knowledge of John Lubbock.
Darwin's Apprentice is a unique book telling the story of an important yet often forgotten Darwinist, Sir John Lubbock, through the eyes of his archaeological and ethnographic collection. Both man and collection were witness to an extraordinary moment in the history of science and archaeology - the emotive scientific, religious and philosophical debate which was triggered by the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859. Darwin's Apprentice looks at Lubbock's critical, yet often over looked, role in the Darwinian campaign, including the ways in which Lubbock's collections shaped both his work and personal life. Janet Owen writes in an approachable manner using a chronological narrative, making it accessible and informative to both the non-academic and academic reader, including those with no prior knowledge of John Lubbock.

Following on from a degree in Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge (Newnham College), JANET OWEN has spent the last twenty years as a museum professional, during which time she was awarded a PhD from the University of Durham in 2000 for her work on the collecting activities of John Lubbock. Janet is presently Head of Arts and Museums at Hampshire County Council. She has also worked as Head of the Curatorial Group at the National Maritime Museum, and as Arts and Heritage Manager at Southampton City Council.
