Steve Jones, who is a professor of genetics at University College London and a most engaging writer on evolutionary biology, wrote this book to coincide with the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the publication of "The Origin of Species." He calls his book "Darwin's Island" to emphasize the fact that the vast majority of Darwin's work was on the biota of the island of England following his return from the voyage of the Beagle and not on what he learned during the scant five weeks he spent in the Galapagos Islands as a young man.

A highly entertaining and fascinating read that portrays the importance of Darwin's Theory of Evolution in an insightful and very well written way.

This book explores some of Darwin's lesser known works in the light of today's scientific insights. This in an amazing read for avid readers of popular science and gives many new insights.
