    About Charles Darwin

    “An illuminating, humanizing portrait of a famous scientist.” —Booklist, starred review

    All his life, Charles Darwin hated controversy. Yet he takes his place among the Giants of Science for what remains an immensely controversial subject: the theory of evolution. Darwin began piecing together his explanation for how all living things change or adapt during his five-year voyage on HMS Beagle. But it took him twenty years to go public, for fear of the backlash his theory would cause. Once again, Kathleen Krull delivers a witty and astute picture of one of history’s greatest scientists.

    An excellent resource for contemporary classroom discussions.” —Booklist, starred review

    “Krull’s lively writing fleshes out [his life and accomplishments]…Kulikov’s occasional art brings humor and drama to this brisk account.” —Horn Book
