The Origin of Species is the most famous book in science but its
stature tends to obscure the genius of Charles Darwin's other
works. The Beagle voyage, too, occupied only five of the fifty
years of his career. He spent only five weeks on the Galapagos and
on his return never left Britain again. Darwin wrote six million
words, in nineteen books and innumerable letters, on topics as
different as dogs, barnacles, insect-eating plants, orchids,
earthworms, apes and human emotion. Together, they laid the
foundations of modern biology.In this beautifully written, witty
and illuminating book, Steve Jones explores the domestic Darwin,
the sage of Kent, and brings his work up to date. Great Britain was
Charles Darwin's other island, its countryside as much, or more, a
place of discovery than had been the Galapagos. It traces the great
naturalist's second journey across its modest landscape: a voyage
not of the body but of the mind.
