Godzilla may be large, but she’s not as big as Darwin’s tremendous idea. In
the latest of Arrow’s The Big Idea series, Darwin and Evolution, Paul Strathern
demonstrates the scale of Darwin’s outstanding insight in this witty and
intensely readable biography. With an unashamedly 20th-century perspective,
Strathern shows that Darwin, though flawed, was genius enough to overturn the
preconceptions of Victorian society. Get out there and buy the rest. Published
by Arrow, £3.99, ISBN 0099238225.
