Synopsis
Acclaimed historian and biographer Paul Johnson turns his keen eye on Charles Darwin, the towering figure whose work continues to spur scientific debate. Johnson's biography is already causing a stir on the pages of Slate and New Scientist, and has become a voice in the public discussion of evolution popularised by the likes of Richard Dawkins. Lay readers and academics alike will enjoy this concise and unflinching exploration of Charles Darwin, a genius whose discoveries add significant dimension to our understanding of his mind and his everlasting impact on our world.

Review
Praise for Darwin
"Riveting . . . The 'genius' of Paul Johnson's biography of Charles Darwin is manifestly, impressively apparent [in his discussion of] On the Origin of Species."
--Wall Street Journal
--Michael Flannery, author of Alfred Russel Wallace "This little sketch reminds us why Darwin's theory of natural selection endures and continues to provoke controversy."
--Publishers Weekly "This is a first-rate biography, one that brings Darwin and his ideas into brilliant focus."
--History Book Club "Characteristically pithy and incisive, the ever-popular Johnson offers a Darwin who will be much in demand."
--Booklist
