Review # 1 was written on 2019-12-27 00:00:00 Matt Schweyer An engaging treatment of many topics, not always wild nature but very captivating nonetheless. I much enjoy Hudson's wonderful sense of humor that always comes through in his writings. This book was no exception.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-20 00:00:00 Faith Faith This book is an attempt to fit a lot what Darwin had achieved and the way he achieved it into a summary. it's neither a biography nor a scientific account on the discoveries of Darwin. it lies somewhere in between those two and makes many topics dry and boring. That being said, the book has beautiful imagery throughout and some of the topics like Darwin's voyage and his origin of species and natural selection concepts are explained in a nice way. This is the only reason I can give this book 3 star rating.
