Authoritative and irreverent, sophisticated and fast paced, highly accessible and utterly enjoyable--the Beginners books bring to life complex and important ideas and theories, and describe the lives and times of the people who created them. Darwin for Beginners takes us through the upheaval in biological thought that made The Origin of Species possible and introduces us to that odd revolutionary, Charles Darwin--the timid, anti-social, semi-invalid who was wracked with fear of controversy as he undermined belief in God-the-creator.
