From the reviews: "Larkum (Univ. of Sydney, Australia) has structured this work around 155 letters ... written by Charles Darwin to his second cousin, William Darwin Fox, from 1828 to 1880, the year of Fox's death. Larkum supplements this treasure trove with a few surviving letters Fox wrote to Darwin, Fox's letters to family members and other naturalists, and his diaries. ... This book's unique material will appeal to biologists and historians. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (J. S. Schwartz, Choice, Vol. 47 (7), March, 2010)
