Collecting Evolution

Meer over het boek

For readers, Charles Darwin, born in 1809, apparently never gets old... Currently we get about 160 a year - a Darwin tome every 2.3 days. Even with a book population so large, most years bring notable additions, and so it is in 2017...the geologist Matthew J. James's Collecting Evolution recounts a 1905-6 Galapagos visit in which the legendary field naturalist Rollo Beck, wielding shotgun, burlap bags and camera, made observations that provided crucial support for Darwins work in those islands.
