Sinossi
Prendendo l'avvio dal pensiero biologico che ha reso possibile un'opera come "Sull'origine della specie", il libro illustra la figura rivoluzionaria di Charles Darwin, un uomo timido e riservato che ha passato la maggior parte della sua esistenza lontano dal mondo accademico, uno studioso oppresso dai dubbi e dalle controversie suscitate dalle sue teorie, ma anche un appassionato ricercatore che ha finito col minare i fondamenti del pensiero occidentale e le verità rivelate sulla creazione del mondo. Il volume mostra lo sviluppo scientifico dell'opera darwiniana dando ampio spazio alla sequenza dei predecessori, degli oppositori, dei sostenitori e, soprattutto, dei continuatori.

Just like the rest of the "introductory series" this book does a good job of simplifying a difficult subject making it more accessible. Not my favorite of the series, I would have enjoyed reading a bit more about Darwin's life and struggles. But none the less it has sparked my curiosity and I am quit Leggi tutto
This book was accessible and I liked the illustrations. I don't think it was for me as I found it boring at times but I can appreciate and understand why someone may say it is good.
This is an interesting look at Darwin. The comic book is a biography, talking about Darwin. What is amazing about this book is that goes through various other scientists, who were active before or during Darwin's life that had their own theories about the life of animals. The book also talks about D Leggi tutto
Like the other books in the Introducing series, this presents the key topics and ideas in a readable form. However, I liked this one less than some of the others I have read, primarily because of the polemical tone (like 'Making a British ass of himself' or 'stupid critics' types of expression) and
