　　This highly illustrated collection of short essays provides a

critical assessment of Darwin both as a person and a scientist, and

provides a factual and engaging account of the collections held at

Cambridge University. Giving a sense of Darwin's youth and energy

at the time of the Beagle voyage, and portraying his life and work

in the context of the lives and work of others, including his

family, this is an engaging account of the significance of Darwin's

observations for his contemporaries and how his ideas inform modern

science.

· Provides a personal account of the man, his life and his work ·

Superbly illustrated in full colour with specimens, samples and

maps · Includes mini-biographies of the people who influenced

Darwin and helped him in his work
