Darwin Miscellania
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this next addition to our shed space. I've been amassing quite a collection of Darwin-related gems harvested from across the internet and I thought you good people might like a share of them. Sorry they're in no particular order or grouping, but I have checked through the links on posting them here, so I hope they all work for you.
There are of course tons more that could have been listed here, but if you have any particular favourite not included please add it as a comment below.
Also, please remember to spread the word about this book. It's not going to happen unless we can get it to 100%. Thank you.
