"Darwin & His Children offers glimpses into the home life of the man who revolutionized biology and natural history. Each Darwin child's life is told in a readable essay [The book]goes a long way toward showing the very human side of a man many see merely as a symbol, for good or ill." --Mansfield News Journal "The picture that the book presents is of that of a functional, relaxed family that held together despite illnesses and despite the controversies that followed Darwin's publications. The book brings together much information not previously accessible; it shows Darwin, as well as all his other characteristics, to be a loving, concerned parent with talented children. It is a welcome addition to the considerable literature that relates to Darwin himself, his work and his contemporaries." --Dr. John Hayman, in Australian Family Physician, "Darwin & His Children offers glimpses into the home life of the man who revolutionized biology and natural history.

Although compact in size, this will be an invaluable source bookfor anyone interested in Charles Darwin." -- Editor, The Linnean."Charles Darwin has been the subject of innumerable biographies, but Tim Berra, Professor Emeritus of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University, has written something different in his book that cuts across three disciplines: the sciences, history of science, and biography. No other book combines the biographies of all ten children in a single volume. The book is thus an innovation and worthy of scrutiny. This book should find amultitude of audiences. We have observed it to be a contribution to the sciences, to history of science and to biography. The student of history of science should avidly read Darwin and His Children,particularly the first chapter. Darwin and His Children is well researched and well written. Berra has the ability to communicate complex ideas in simple prose. As the above suggests, I would recommend this monograph to anyone with an interest in the sciences, history of science, and biography." -- The Ohio Journal of Science, "Darwin & His Children offers glimpses into the home life of the man who revolutionized biology and natural history.

Synopsis
While much has been written about the life and works of Charles Darwin, the lives of his ten children remain largely unexamined. Most "Darwin books" consider his children as footnotes to the life of their famous father and close with the death of Charles Darwin. This is the only book that deals substantially with the lives of his children from their birth to their death, each in his or her own chapter. Tim Berra's Darwin and His Children: His Other Legacy explores Darwin's marriage to his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood, a devout Unitarian, who worried that her husband's lack of faith would keep them apart in eternity, and describes the early death of three children of this consanguineous marriage. Many of the other children rose to prominence in their own fields. William Darwin became a banker and tended the Darwin family's substantial wealth. Henrietta Darwin edited Charles' books and wrote a biography of her mother. Three of Darwin's sons were knighted and elected Fellows of the Royal Society: Sir George Darwin was the world's expert on tides, Sir Francis Darwin developed the new field of plant physiology, and Sir Horace Darwin founded the world-class Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company. Major Leonard Darwin was a military man, Member of Parliament, and patron of early genetic research. This book, richly illustrated with photographs of the Darwin family, demonstrates the intellectual atmosphere whirling about the Darwin household, portrays loving family relationships, and explores entertaining vignettes from their lives., While much has been written about the life and work of Charles Darwin, the lives of his wife and ten children remain largely unexamined. How did Darwin reconcile his own metaphysical views with those of his wife Emma Wedgwood, his first cousin and a devout Unitarian? Did his consanguineous marriage contribute to three of his children's young deaths, and how did these deaths affect both Darwin and his wife? And how did Darwin's death affect his surviving family? Most accounts of Charles Darwin's life end with his death, but Tim Berra's Darwin and His Children: His Other Legacy moves past this moment in time, examining the distinct lives of Charles Darwin's wife and children, both in relation to him and as their own characters living, and dying, separately in the wake of their father's success. The book will feature a synopsis of the development of Darwin's beliefs, work, and marriage, and then discuss the role these played in each of his children's lives, in a separate chapter for each child. Three died soon after their births, while others grew up to be bankers, writers, scientists, or members of parliament. Darwin and His Children: His Other Legacy covers each child in turn, providing a new and more personal perspective on the life and legacy of Charles Darwin., This book, richly illustrated with photographs of the Darwin family, demonstrates the intellectual atmosphere whirling about the Darwin household, portrays loving family relationships, and explores entertaining vignettes from their lives.
