Darwin`s Ark
Autor Philip Appleman, Rudy Pozzattien Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 ian 2009
Philosophical, witty, poignant, deeply intellectual, and lyrical, Appleman's poetry is always clear and powerful. All of the poems reflect Appleman's perception of the "overwhelming sanity" of Darwin's thought together with a visceral sensation of wholeness of the connectedness of humans and nature, of the present with the past, of joy and sorrow, life and death. Pozzatti's varied illustrations represent his responses to the poems, providing a mini Darwin bestiary and much more."
