5.0 out of 5 stars Genius at work, 19 Nov 2003
By Me Shuttleworth (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tree of Life: Charles Darwin (Hardcover)
How do you get a ten year old or a fourteen year old interested and excited about the life and mind of of one the truly great Victorian men? Peter Sis has brilliantly brought to life the scientific discoveries of Charles Darwin. He revels in recreating the scientific illustrations that accompanied Darwins global voyage. Sis also highlights the personal tragedies and struggles taht Darwin endured. I should also thanks Mr Sis for not turning Darwin into an American. Early in the book, the text gestures towards Darwin's tendency to break with convention, to go against the flow. Fortunately, as the details of Darwin's discoveries and his life emerge, we let go of this notion and a much complex and satisfying picture emerges. The book is beautiful to look at and to read. Inspiring in every way. It won't just be the young folk who want to read and re-read this wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darwin's legacy, 5 Jun 2009
By P. Palmer (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When this book first arrived I was a little disappointed as it was quite a thin book, but upon opening the book I was entranced by its contents. The illustrations were remarkable and the book written in such a way that my 7 year old granddaughter will have no problem in reading and understanding its contents. I feel I now know more about Darwin the man as well as his legacy to the world. Last summer, with my granddaughter, I visited Down House, visited the greenhouses and walked along the sandwalk. It is a beautiful book and one which I highly recommend.
