Books by Jim Endersby

"Endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved," Darwin concluded The Origin of Species, and for confirmation we look to ... the guinea pig? How this curious creature and others as humble (and as fast-breeding) have helped unlock the mystery of inheritance is the unlikely story Endersby tells in this book.

Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911) was an internationally renowned botanist, a close friend and early supporter of Charles Darwin, and one of the first - and most successful - British men of science to become a full-time professional. This title uses one individual's career to illustrate the changing world of science in the Victorian era.

Includes stories that reveal how DNA determines the characteristics of the adult organism.
