You probably have too much to read about Darwin already, but as a Librarian I feel strangely obligated to burden you with still more reading material on this topic. So here are a few bits and pieces. I make no claims to its being at all comprehensive nor to having selected the best bits. It’s just there.
Some newspaper features and journal special issues:
- Another Nature special on Darwin
- Guardian features on Darwin
- Biology Letters – special feature on brain evolution
- International Journal of Biochemuistry and Cell Biology special issue on Molecular and cellular evolution
- American Psychologist special issue
- Biochemical Journal special issue
- The Biochemist special issue
Some resources from libraries:
- The complete work of Darwin online
- Online exhibition from UCL Libraries
- Natural History Museum catalogue – search the world’s greatest natural history library for works about Darwin. Try searching for “charles darwin biography”
