DARWIN IN CAMBRIDGE by Dr John van Wyhe
Darwin's years in Cambridge were some of the most important and formative of his early life. For the rest of his life he felt a particular affection for Cambridge.
Based upon new research, including newly discovered Christ's College manuscripts and Darwin publications, recollections of those who knew him as a student, and details and insights into Darwin's time in Cambridge, this richly illustrated full-colour booklet provides many previously unpublished details and insights into Darwin's time in Cambridge. Its publication coincides with the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and with the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species.

THE BEAGLE LETTERS Ed. Frederick Burkhardt
Charles Darwin's voyage on HMS Beagle is a gripping adventure story, and a turning point in the making of the modern world. Brought here together in chronological order, the letters he wrote and received during his trip provide a first-hand account of a voyage of discovery that was as much personal as intellectual.
/>
His letters are counterpoised by replies from family and friends that record a comfortable, intimate world back in England. Original watercolours by the ship's artist bring to life Darwin's descriptions of his travels.

CHRIST'S - A CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE OVER FIVE CENTURIES
Ed. Professor David Reynolds
This book looks at how one Cambridge College has developed and why it mattered in British life. With contributions by John Burrow, David Cannadine, Barrie Dobson, Roy Porter, Simon Schama, Quentin Skinner and Barry Supple, these chapters have been written by some of the College's outstanding historians.
Their distinctive snapshots of Christ's at different times reveal something of the rich variety of historical writing today - religious and intellectual history, biography economics and the history of science.
