{"product_id":"darwin-a-graphic-biography-9781588343529","title":"Darwin: A Graphic Biography","description":"\u003ci\u003eDarwin: A Graphic Biography\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring expedition into the physical and intellectual adventures of Charles Darwin. Presenting Darwin's life in a smart and entertaining graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eDarwin: A Graphic Biography\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to not only educate the reader about Darwin but also the scientific world of the 1800s. The graphic medium is ideal for recreating a very specific time frame, succeeding in placing the reader right next to a young Darwin on a \"beetling\" expedition. With specimens in both hands, and anxious to get another, Darwin ends up stuffing the third beetle into his mouth. Darwin's life presented in this form is an inspirational tale for kids of all ages. They'll be sure to identify with a curious young Darwin finding his way on youthful adventures in the fields near his house. The ups, downs, and near-misses of Darwin's youth are portrayed honestly and without foreshadowing of his later fame. This is a key point for younger readers: that Darwin wasn't somehow predestined to greatness. He was curious, patient, and meticulous. He persevered--a great lesson about what science is all about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Smithsonian Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588343529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2013 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013 pg. 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eugene Byrne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132924297397,"sku":"9781588343529","price":8.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b524968a-19d1-40b0-ac20-e13bf31cc532.jpg?v=1695135915","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/darwin-a-graphic-biography-9781588343529","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
