Reading: Lou Rosenblatt

Description

Author Lou Rosenblatt reads from his book Buckets From an English Sea: 1832 and the Making of Darwin.

The book focuses on a lesser-studied part of Darwin's life and career: the events in Tierra del Fuego which set Darwin on the trail of discovery. Most accounts focus on Darwin's findings in the Galapagos as if he "stumbled upon" his findings by chance; this book instead explores why Darwin sought it out by focusing on the events of a single year in the scientist's life.
