'A beautifully illustrated book which shows the importance of
teamwork in developing new ideas' Books for Keeps On 24th November
1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was first
published, selling out almost immediately. Describing the now well
known theory that humans evolved through a process called natural
selection, it became an instant classic and cemented Darwin as one
of the greatest biologists of all time. However, he couldn't have
done it without the support, encouragement and advice from those
who believed in him. None more so than Joseph Hooker, his friend,
confidant and fellow collector, who supported and helped Darwin
when he didn't dare ask anyone else. Hooker, too, had his own
adventures and made his own discoveries - many of which not only
aided Darwin, but went on to change what the world knew about
plants. Becoming head of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, he came to be
one the world's most influential botanists. Across many years,
countless adventures and numerous letters, this captivating and
wonderfully illustrated book tells the story of one of greatest
friendships to happen to science. Publishing in partnership with
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this book will show children how
teamwork, curiosity, openness and trust can be the greatest tools a
scientist will ever need. They might even help you change the
world.
