'This is far from a coffee-table book. It brings to the educated general public an awareness about a young Charles Darwin in Australia never before available.' Ross Fitzgerald, The Sydney Morning Herald 'Darwin in Australia manages to be both an invaluable reference work and a good read, and you can't do much better than that.' Gavin Gatenby, Australian Natural History 'The Nicholas' have produced a delectable volume on this period ! It is a necessary purchase for all Australians and all Darwin-freaks, but well worth some of the rest of us having on our shelves.' R. J. Berry, The Biologist 'For a beginner to Darwinian studies this book has a good introduction to the Australia leg of the Beagle voyage. To those more familiar with Australia a little over 30 years before Darwin it is interesting to read of developments over this formative period ! In conclusion this is an excellent paperback book for a general readership, and all the better for being at a reasonable price.' Archives of Natural History
