About this title

Synopsis:

The second volume in a definitive biography of Charles Darwin, following Charles Darwin: Voyaging, begins in 1858 when, against his better judgment, Darwin was forced to publicly reveal his theory of evolution in a world that held to the biblical creation ideal, and examines the fierce controversy that resulted from his work. 12,500 first printing.

Review:

‘An astonishingly fresh picture of the great naturalist...the closest we can come to getting inside Darwin’s mind.’ -- Sunday Telegraph on volume One
