Description: "Explores the domestic Darwin, the sage of Kent, and brings his work to a new audience. Great Britain was Charles Darwin's other island, its countryside as much, or more, a place of discovery as had been the Galapagos. Darwin's island traces the great naturalist's journey across Britain's modest landscape: a voyage not of the body, but of the mind"--Jacket.
