Popular historian Johnson tackles flawed genius Charles Darwin, who became an icon in society as the author of On the Origin of Species. This brief work imparts the social context of Darwin's time and outlines contemporary science and details of the man's personal and scientific life. We also hear about social Darwinism and its role in history for good and ill. Read by John Curless, this title is recommended to those looking to learn about Darwin, his research, and natural selection's impact on society over time.
VERDICT Johnson's work differs from others in that it highlights Darwin's shortcomings while describing the history of natural selection and his groundbreaking revelations.
