In this brilliant presentation of a revolutionary thinker''s
life, the picture book becomes an art form "As far as I can judge,
I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men . . . "
Charles Darwin was, above all else, an independent thinker who
continues even now to influence the way we look at the natural
world. His endless curiosity and passion for detail resulted in a
wealth of notebooks, diaries, correspondence, and published
writings that Peter Sis transforms into a visual treasure trove. A
multilayered journey through Darwin''s world, "The Tree of Life
"begins with his childhood and traces the arc of his life through
university and career, following him around the globe on the voyage
of the Beagle, and home to a quiet but momentous life devoted to
science and family. Sis uses his own singular vision to create a
gloriously detailed panorama of a genius''s trajectory through
investigating and understanding the mysteries of nature. In
pictures executed in fine pen and ink and lush watercolors - cameo
portraits, illustrated pages of diary, cutaway views of the Beagle,
as well as charts, maps, and a gatefold spread - Peter Sis has
shaped a wondrous introduction to Charles Darwin.
