Cover of Iain McCalman: Darwin's Armada: Four Voyages and the Battle for the Theory of Evolution (ePUB)

‘Sparkling…an extraordinary true-adventure story, complete with trials, tribulations and moments of exultation.’ —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Award-winning cultural historian Iain Mc Calman tells the stories of Charles Darwin and his staunchest supporters: Joseph Hooker, Thomas Huxley, and Alfred Wallace. Beginning with the somber morning of April 26, 1882—the day of Darwin’s funeral—Darwin’s Armada steps back and recounts the lives and scientific discoveries of each of these explorers, who campaigned passionately in the war of ideas over evolution and advanced the scope of Darwin’s work.
