The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 12, 1864 (The Correspondence of Charles Darwin)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Nothing in recent history of science quite tops the achievement of the volumes of Darwin correspondence. It is our own Human Genome Project.' Annals of Science
'Every time a new volume in this series appears, researchers have further reason to rejoice.' Isis
'The letters ... are written in elegant and extraordinarily polite terms. They are a delight on those grounds alone although they could daunt modern readers ... the main effect of this book, thought, is astonishment at the staggering effort the five editors put into it.' Roy Herbert, New Scientist
