Charles Darwin by J David Archibald

Charles Darwin by J David Archibald

All his life, Charles Darwin hated controversy. Yet he takes his place among the Giants of Science for what remains an immensely controversial subject: the theory of evolution. Darwin began piecing together his explanation for how all living things change or adapt during his five-year voyage on HMS Beagle. But it took him twenty years to go public, for fear of the backlash his theory would cause. Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute picture of one of history's greatest scientists.

Don’t let the slender stature of this book fool youThis is a powerful and authoritative guide to the complex and often misrepresented life and work of Charles Darwin. J. David Archibald has mastered the sources and takes his readers on an extraordinary journey. – John van Wyhe, historian of science, Director of Darwin Online

David Archibald taught at Yale University and is emeritus professor of biology, San Diego State University. He is the author or co-editor of many books including Charles Darwin: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works (2018).
