Early American Naturalists: Exploring the American West, 1804-1900
This is not just a simple biography book, its quite more interesting than i expected. I really liked author's approach by focusing on Darwin's Origin of Species work and then getting back to Darwin's life and how some of his life experiencies somehow influenced his work.
