" Fascinating account of the chronic illness Darwin suffered through most of his life, offering his theories as to what it may have been."
--Book News, Inc.
" This facinating analysis of Darwin's health adds a new dimension to Darwin scholarship, and will be fascination for lay readers as well as scholars in the living sciences. Highly recommended."
--Choice
"Darwin fans should find this new title a pleasing addition to their knowledge banks as it dwells--heavily--on his ills rather than his accomplishments."
--The Bloomsbury review
"This is a really valuable book. Everyone seeking to understand darwin should read it and choose among the rival explainations of what brought him so low while he was achieving such greatness."
