Pencil inscription to FFEP. 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.
