Darwin - The Life of a Tormented Evolutionist (Paperback)

Adrian Desmond and James Moore's gripping narrative reveals the great personal cost to Darwin of pursuing inflammatory truths—telling the whole story of how he came to his epock-making conclusions.

"At last, a biography to match the man. . . . Darwin, his family, his colleagues, and his milieu come alive in this book. . . . Superbly written."—Everett Menselson, Harvard University

"A riveting tour de force that meets the need for a new biography on the grand scale. . . . Rarely have the dynamic relations between a scientist's life and his theories been so fully, so forcefully recounted."—Roy Porter, Sunday Times

"A book that makes such an astounding physical as well as cerebral impact is a very rare commodity indeed."—Anthony Burgess, Observer

"Pick is up and you are hooked, by the racy writing, the memorable turns of phrase, the historical insights and the sheer bravado of their performance."—William Bynum, New Scientist
