Reviews

[Havva · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick, entertaining read. Much of the science is out of date, and the style is both non-pc and rather florid and lamarckian, but the book provides an interesting look at how things were when these discoveries were much more recent by one of the discoverers himself.
