Charles Darwin, Geologist. (Brief article)(Book review)
From: Biography
Date: 20060322
Author:Fortey, Richard A.
Darwin, Charles
Charles Darwin: Geologist. Sandra Herbert. Ithaca: Cornell UP, 2005. 485 pp. 20.95 [pounds sterling].
"It is good to have Darwin's achievements as a geologist accorded their proper place in his history, and Sandra Herbert has been almost geological in her cracking of the strata of his early years. I doubt whether this exhumation of Darwin's formative years will ever be bettered."
Richard A. Fortey. TLS, Jan. 13, 2006: 4-5.
