Recenzii
'… truly a gem. … One experiences with him the highs and lows, the excitement, the trepidation and pure academic interest. Like a drama, one is held in suspense, wanting to know the next instalment of the story. Complemented by many charming watercolour and pencil sketches by Conrad Martens, who travelled with Darwin on the Beagle and thoughtfully introduced by Janet Brown, this book will certainly appeal to all.' Biologist
'… Francis Bacon … once said, 'Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested'. This one definitely belongs to the last category. Enjoy!' Lab Times
