Recenzje

I do not hesitate to label Johnson's 472-page monograph a new milestone in the study of Darwin's "Historical Sketch". It deserves intense scholarly attention from "Darwin industry" insiders and from nonspecialists in various fields who seek a fuller and more intimate acquaintance with Darwin's intellectual territory.
