      Charles Darwin s voyage on the HMS Beagle is a gripping adventure story, and a turning point in the making of the modern world. Brought together here in chronological order, the letters he wrote and received during his trip provide a first-hand account of a voyage of discovery that was as much personal as intellectual. We follow Darwin s adventures as he prepares for his travels, lands on his first tropical island, watches an earthquake level a city, and learns how to catch ostriches from a running horse. We witness slavery, political revolution, and epidemic disease, and share the otherworldly experience of landing on the Galapagos Islands and collecting specimens. His letters are counterpoised by replies from family and friends that record a comfortable, intimate world back in England. Original watercolors by the ship s artist Conrad Martens vividly bring to life Darwin s descriptions of his travels.

      'There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons,' wrote Edwin Lutyens in 1915. When he died on New Year's Day 1944, he had amassed well over five hundred clients. The great architect and his architecture are well known, but what about his patrons, his clients?From his earliest patrons, a stream of repressed gentlewomen of intelligence and means, through a galaxy of Edwardian heroes and villains, this book tells their stories. Some of them are famous, others unknown, except as Lutyens' here are Herbert Jekyll, Jennie Churchill, J. M. Barrie, Hugh Lane, Victoria Sackville, lords, ladies, Souls, bankers, press barons, politicians, and beau monde of Edwardian England, as well as a schoolteacher who inherited a fortune and a prospering Bradford wool merchant.Lutyens and the Edwardians is lavishly illustrated with the human face of great architecture - sketches, drawings and photographs from family archives all over England.

    • In 1858, Charles Darwin, a respected gentleman scientist at forty-nine, lived quietly at Down House, with his monumental manuscript on species still unfinished after two decades of research. His cautious nature delayed publication as he sought certainty in his groundbreaking theory of evolution. This biography's concluding volume begins with the events that compelled the "Origin of Species" into print, marking the onset of Darwin's fame and the ensuing controversies. As his ideas gained traction, they sparked intense public debate, drawing both criticism and support from notable figures like Thomas Henry Huxley and Joseph Hooker. Despite the pressures of newfound celebrity, Darwin remained devoted to his family, research, and the serene life he cherished. Janet Browne's account captures the complexities of the Darwinian revolution, detailing the Victorian publishing landscape and the fierce debates between scientists and religious figures. Through her sympathetic portrayal, we witness Darwin as a dedicated researcher grappling with his health while engaging with topics that intrigued him. Browne's mastery of scientific sources offers a nuanced view of Darwin as both a great thinker and a relatable human being, affirming the praise received for her previous volume.
