Charles Darwin was one of the most influential scientific thinkers
of his age and his ideas continue to inform our understanding of
the natural world. Darwin was born and went to school in Shrewsbury
and the town was the home of his family until he moved away as a
young man. The story of Shrewsbury's Darwin is of a youthful,
energetic and outdoor-loving figure with a natural curiosity,
intrigued by the world he saw around him who evolved into the ideal
candidate for the position of naturalist on HMS Beagle. In Charles
Darwin in Shrewsbury the reader is taken through Darwin's early
history, his great adventure on HMS Beagle and finally to the
realisation of his big idea. Alongside this the author takes the
reader on a guided tour around the town, highlighting the landmarks
associated with Darwin. The book places Darwin's early years in the
context of the town and the wider landscape, providing a fresh
insight into the naturalist's personal and intellectual
development. It is both a pocket biography and a town guide, a
companion for pilgrims to the town and a fascinating insight into
the making of a marvellous mind.
