"...this is a fascinating insight into Darwin's life as he first directly addresses the issues of humanity's place in nature, and the consequences of his ideas for religious belief...The only text of its kind to contain the actual letters written to and by Darwin makes this a unique piece of publishing...an enjoyable read for anyone interested in Darwin" -Southeatern Naturalist, 2009, '… the letters remind us of the sheer brilliance of the man … Darwin commented that 'If any man wants to gain a good opinion of his fellow men, he ought to do what I am doing, pester them with letters'. The judicious choice of letters presented … reveal the truth of Darwin's statement, as his personality and trains of thought are revealed. His geniality, thoroughness and tenacity as he progressed as a scientist also shine through. Furthermore the letters offer a wider insight into the development of science at a key moment in history. … highly recommended.'
