Description

Hailed as the definitive biography, this monumental work explains the character and paradoxes of Charles Darwin and opens up the full panorama of Victorian science, theology, and mores. The authors bring to life Darwins reckless student days in Cambridge, his epic five-year voyage on the Beagle, and his grueling struggle to develop his theory of evolution.

Adrian Desmond and James Moores gripping narrative reveals the great personal cost to Darwin of pursuing inflammatory truthstelling the whole story of how he came to his epoch-making conclusions.
