The Tree of Life

Charles Darwin was convinced that he was not born to blindly follow in the footsteps of other men. His inexhaustible curiosity and passion for detail were recorded in a multitude of notebooks, diaries, letters, and publications that Peter Sis has now transformed into the tree of life. Humorous, well-grounded, and visually striking, this book offers a thorough, multifaceted overview of Darwin's personal life—beginning with his childhood, following him on his journey around the world on the Beagle, and back home to the stillness of a life he would dedicate to his family and the study of nature—as well as his career path and reflections that would transform the way human beings perceive themselves.
