Every once in a while, an idea comes along that is so radical, so surprising, that it completely transforms the way that we look at the world.

This beautifully illustrated book brings to life Charles Darwin's extraordinary notion-evolution by natural selection - for a new generation of inquisitive readers.

Bright young things will quickly level up their understanding of biology thanks to the way that complex ideas are cleverly unpacked in clear, easy-to-follow language.

. Explore Darwin's life story, his voyages of discovery, and the series of revelations that led to his great discovery.
. Take a tour through the great scientist's theories as they're set out in an accessible and entertaining way.
. Uncover the world in which Darwin lived, how his ideas were received, and how they influenced later thinkers.

Readers aged 8+ will be drawn in by the lavish illustrations of Juanita Londoño-Gaviria, featured throughout.
