Darwin and the Barnacle by Rebecca Stott


Started 4/24/07
Finished: 4/26/07
Year: 2003
Pages: 261
Genre: Biographical/Science
Grade: B+
Reason for reading: grabbed it off the TBR pile
Blurb (from back cover): "In a suspensful narrative, Rebecca Stott tells the story of Charles Darwin's discovery in 1835 of an unknown, shrimplike barnacle he would call 'Mr. Anthrobalanus' and the decisive influence this tiny marine organism would have on the course of evolutionary biology."
Opinion: An interest look at Darwin and his life. I found it worth reading as I believe in Darwin's theory and I like marine biology.
