reviewed The Darwin Reader on
My problem with this book is that the commentary by the editor is larger than the text by
Darwin. At my age this is a problem. In fact,I was unable to read the Darwin part and gave up trying. I had wanted to get a summary of Darwin's works. This book is not for older readers although I think a lot of people might find it annoying.
