Riassunto

The second volume in a definitive biography of Charles Darwin, following Charles Darwin: Voyaging, begins in 1858 when, against his better judgment, Darwin was forced to publicly reveal his theory of evolution in a world that held to the biblical creation ideal, and examines the fierce controversy that resulted from his work. 12,500 first printing.
