Charles Darwin
The Story of the Amateur Naturalist Who Created a Scientific Revolution and Changed the World
by Cyril Aydon, FCD
A short, very readable biography of Charles Darwin.
There are literally dozens of Darwin biographies available. This one is a nice introduction for anyone wanting to read up on Darwin without going into too much depth. It covers the key events in his life fairly comprehensively but succinctly.
Disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book from the publishers.
