Many elegant observations . . . full of good sense, and written with an engaging lucidity and delicate wit. Aydon [is] a shrewd guide. (John Gardiner, BBC History Magazine)
Aydon acquits himself very well indeed, showing a command not only of biographical matter and the considerable literature of Darwiniana but also of the complex science involved. ... A good place to start for those new to Darwin's life and work. (Kirkus Reviews)
A new, fully rounded life of the father of evolutionary theory
