Review "Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection stands out as a comprehensive and engaging work that will not only appeal to its intended young audience but also to adults. It is a testament to Hesses ability to present complex scientific concepts in a way that is both informative and thoroughly enjoyable." - Literary Titan Gold Award Winner"This fantastically illustrated comic focuses on the five weeks that Darwin spent in Galapagos and the subsequent development of the theory of evolution which finally resulted in Darwins seminal publication On the Origin of Species. Taking such a story and turning it into a comic that is both enjoyable and accessible to a wide range of ages is no mean feat, but Alan Hesse has done a brilliant job. Now available for the first time in English, this historically and scientifically accurate book makes for a great educational resource." - Galápagos Conservation Trust"My 12-year-old daughter really enjoyed reading this book. She already knew something about Charles Darwin from a Horrible Histories song about him on TV so was very interested to find out about him. This book really helped her to understand who Darwin was, his historical context and why his discoveries were so important. She found the story entertaining and easy to follow and she really liked the illustrations which are lighthearted and lively. As an adult I also found the book very engaging and educational and I found the final section on Darwins legacy and the very clear explanation of his theories about natural selection genuinely enlightening." - Amazon 5 star review"This is brilliant. A beautifully crafted masterpiece for any age. Great for schools and general interest." - Dr. Rachel Atkinson, Ecologist."Charles Darwins voyage on board the HMS Beagle is one of the most famous expeditions of the 19th century. Hesse has done a brilliant job in taking this story and turning it into a comic that is both enjoyable and accessible to a wide range of ages." - Association for Science Education"Whether you are 15 or 75 or somewhere in between, read this book to grasp how perceptions of the human condition were forever altered due to young Darwins observations. Hesses book should be in every library and science department." - E. Craige Jr., Anthropologist. Details ISBN9942425055 Author Alan J.
