"Darwin: A Graphic Biography is an inspiring expedition into the physical and intellectual adventures of Charles Darwin. Presenting Darwin's life in a smart and entertaining graphic novel, Darwin: A Graphic Biography educates the reader about Darwin and the scientific world of the 1800s. The graphic medium is ideal for re-creating the 19th century and a young boy inspired by the natural world. Unlike some of the other works on Darwin, Darwin: A Graphic Biography takes a close look at Darwin the boy and his early adventures in science. Even at an early age, Darwin was making sacrifices for science. In one entertaining sequence, Darwin is shown outdoors 'beetling.' With bug specimens in both hands and anxious to get another, the young budding scientist ends up stuffing the third beetle into his mouth. Darwin's life presented in this form is an inspirational tale for kids of all ages sure to identify with a curious young Darwin finding his way on youthful adventures in the fields near his house. The ups, downs, and near-misses of Darwin's youth are portrayed honestly and without foreshadowing of his later fame, establishing that Darwin wasn't somehow predestined to greatness. He was curious, patient, and meticulous. He persevered--a great lesson about what science is all about"--Back cover.
