Summary

Peter Whitfield explains how Darwin came to his revolutionary views following his voyage on the Beagle - and his initial reluctance to publish his findings.

Critic reviews
"Darwin's theory was conceived from observations made during his five-year voyage on the Beagle and honed for another 15 years, during which time the burden of it's shattering implications made him ill. This compact account conveys both the magnitude and excitement of Darwin's discovery." ( The Observer)
"A useful instant bicentenary guide, which gives you exactly what it says on the tin: family history, biography, succinct synopsis of what natural selection really means and what effect it had on the Victorian establishment." (The Guardian)
