Reseñas de la Crítica
"Grover Gardner is a first-rate reader who seems genuinely to enjoy recounting the foibles of Darwin's life. An excellent general audience title." (Library Journal)
"Grover Gardner’s reading pulses with the excitement of Quammen’s quest. As the author sifts through Darwin’s developing insights and personality quirks...Gardner is perfectly alert to the author’s subtle irony and humor..." (Audiofile)
"It's easy to hear why PW named Grover Gardner Narrator of the Year in '05. He uses inflection, stress, rhythm and his rich vocal range to create an easy and often amusing conversational style." (Publishers Weekly)

The Reluctant Mr Darwin

Too often in school we learn about scientific principles and scientists without any historic context. It seems like they are geniuses who can not be touched and once those theories come into being, they are put on a pedestal and can not be modified. If something is in a text book it must be true!
This book put Charles Darwin and Natural Selection in context. The book makes Charles Darwin feels all too human and explains why Natural Selection is so incendiary.
I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in science or history.
David Quammen is a great writer and he tells an amazing story.
