Review: Fabulous book by a brilliant scientist/naturalist, but you must really focus. - I can't believe I lived to be this old and had never read this! I read a bit over half of the sequential chapters and had to skip to the end, so I could write my review for GR & print out notes (from the review & all forms of my notes) for my banned book club meeting. (The library provides print copies, but I had to get my own, so I could highlight & make marginal notes, in addition to more lengthy notes on index cards (big ones); my son dropped by, saw what I had spread out on my table and laughed: "You're not reading; your studying!" What a brilliant man Darwin was! I loved getting my head into scientific theory, even if far removed from my discipline (sociology) & couldn't wait to discuss his theory, how he developed (my methodology was grounded theory--start with the data & as you develop the theory, test it against new data, so I got this and appreciated it). Sadly, no one else in the club as read nearly as much as I had (I suspect this was true for the librarian leading the group, too), never mind having "really" read it, so the group talked about anything other than the theory itself!!! This led to a disagreement with the librarian (private, via email) and my decision to leave the club. It was SUCH a terrific book & deserved to be discussed.
Review: El libro tiene un poco de arrugas, pero son unas cosas muy leves. La información está completa y tiene temas muy interesantes. Para cualquier estudiante de biología es una recomendación definitiva
