Darwin: A Very Short Introduction
On page 66:
"If variations were causeless they would be outside the realm of scientific investigation; and Darwin never seriously considered allowing one of his axiomatic generalizations to be non-investigable, even if, for some purpose, it might be convenient to have causeless variation."
The book is full of sentences like this. It took me probably 3 times longer to read than it should have because I didn't understand a goddamned sentence. I don't feel like I learned very much Darwin OR how to wade through overly dense material aptly named "A Very Short Introduction" but definitely not "Approachable" or "Readable."
