Reviews & endorsements
From reviews of earlier volumes: 'Nothing in recent history of science quite tops the achievement of the volumes of Darwin correspondence. It is our own Human Genome Project.' Annals of Science
See more reviews'Readers of earlier volumes will probably already be addicted, since no aspect of Darwin's life, work, or writing, is ever dull.' Human Genetics
'… a superb series … beautifully produced, beautifully readable, efficiently indexed, supportively but not gossipily annotated.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Every now and then … publishing and academe work together to produce books so splendid that it seems ungrateful not to acquire them: this promises to be another such.' The Guardian
'… this authoritative work is a model of scholarship in both its comprehensiveness and supporting documentation which provides a rich source of background, biographical and bibliographical detail.' The Naturalist
'These volumes are indeed treasures of high scholarship … every real science library needs this series.' Trends in Ecology and Evolution
