We haven't discussed Darwin here in a while...

Ran across a new book in our collection entitled "The Reluctant Mr. Darwin"
by David Quammen (perhaps you've already seen this one, Wolfgang...) that
has gotten some favorable attention. One such was this recent spot on
Morning Edition:

At any rate, I just thought I'd pass along this note to the bookish
Darwinians out there, as it sounds like a worthwhile read. It is on my "to
read" list, but not yet at the top of same, let alone on the "already read"
list, so this is not (yet, anyhow) a personal recommendation. Just an FYI
readers advisory from somewhere deep in the stacks.

A very enjoyable listen.
