Reluctant Mr. Darwin, An Intimate Portrait of Charles Darwin and the Making of His Theory of Evolution

by David Quammen

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 2007
  • PAPER
  • 304 PAGES

David Quammen hits just the right note in this sprightly tale of the man, his ideas and their impact. Not just a marvelous and witty writer with a conversational style, Quammen (Flight of the Iguana, Song of the Dodo, etc.) also has an uncanny ability, in full display in this extended essay, to express complex ideas with clarity.  (NAT94, $14.95)
