The year 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth—and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. Celebrate the man who revolutionized science with this image- and information-filled desk diary, created by the Natural History Museum, London. It highlights major events and people in his life and work, including his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle.
Throughout, the diary features artwork and photographs—many drawn from the Museum's extensive archives. They include specimens he collected; various editions of his books; a letter from Darwin to his wife, Emma, containing his "most solemn & last request"; and much more.
An introductory page gives key dates in Darwin's life, as well as websites with information on his heritage, evolutionary theory, and bicentenary celebrations.

Darwin Desk Diary 2009
This biography appears to be well researched and is definitely extensively footnoted. I don't know if it is just this edition but its readability is harmed by lackadaisical editing. Some of the author's sentences seem to wonder off and eventually get lost. That aside, it is a well crafted examination of a complex and sometimes unpleasant man. Jack London rose from poverty and a dysfunctional family to become, for a time, the most popular author in the United States. Sinclair does not minimize his faults or shortcomings. He especially does not hide or excuse London's ugly racism, harsh even for the racist era from which he sprang.
Sinclair believes London to be an important and significant American author, however, sometimes, for me, it destroys the joy I can take from a book when I know too much about the author.
