Darwin had an intense interest in crabs. He said nothing about the origin of humans in On the Origin of the Species. He was greatly influenced by the works of Malthus. He was buried in a cathedral, despite his ambivalence toward religion. Everything you need to know about this revolutionary thinker is here, from details about his family life to descriptions of the plants named after him, sketches of colleagues and friends, detractors and supporters, the places where he lived and to which he traveled; this even includes a picture of his study, a general bibliography, and even descriptions of his mistakes, which appear to be significant but relatively few, considering the constraints his age placed on his research. Armstrong (geology and ecology, U. of Western Australia) makes sure articles are accessible and include references and cross-references. This is both handsome and accessible.
