Summary

In 1859, Charles Darwin unveiled to the world a theory so controversial that it shook the very foundations of science and theology.

If you are a fan of Tintin, Maus or the popular Science Comics series you will love Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection. 

"Have you been searching for a fun and understandable way to introduce natural selection and evolution in your classroom? Look no further! Charles Darwin and the Theory of Natural Selection tells the story of Darwin’s voyage to the Galapagos Islands and his theory that followed in a comic book format that is fun for all ages." - National Science Teachers Association.

For most people, Darwin's ground-breaking legacy remains shrouded in controversy. The detailed mechanics of the Theory of Evolution are largely confined to Life Science academics and professionals. Yet Darwin's work is still the best explanation we have for the fabulous diversity of life on Earth, and it is rightly present in the science education curriculum the world over. 

Researched and created on the Galápagos Islands themselves, this historically, geographically and scientifically accurate graphic novel explains Darwin's theory in clear language, and provides thoroughly researched insight into Darwin's thought process and the pressures he had to deal with. As an educational resource, the book provides an entertaining learning experience for curious kids, and is perfect for science teachers who want to teach evolution in their classrooms. It is also great for any adult interested in natural history, Darwin and his theory, and Victorian scientific exploration in general. 

Charles Darwin: the comic  

What you will discover:

	How the field observations made by Darwin and his crew while visiting the legendary Galápagos islands eventually led to the Theory of Natural Selection 
	How Darwin tapped into the scientific minds of his time and related with his peers
	Darwin's inner struggle while developing his work, including the dilemma he faced as a God-fearing Christian
	The little-known truth behind how the Theory of Natural Selection was actually stumbled upon
	How the Theory actually works, explained in simple language and with cartoon illustrations

Extend your knowledge and that of your kids in finally understanding the only scientific explanation for Life on Earth by traveling back in time to enter the mind of Charles Darwin!

    Ten-year old Lottie Moon had seen too much bitterness and gossip among churchgoers to want anything to do with religion or God. In fact, if there was a single way to waste a life, Lottie told herself, being a missionary was it. In a twist that only God could orchestrate, this spirited young girl who grew up to become the most educated woman in the American South would ultimately find her calling as a missionary to China. As Lottie watched her fellow missionaries fall to disease, exhaustion, mental breakdowns, and death, she became just as dedicated to educating Christians about the often preventable tragedies of missionary life as she was to educating Chinese people about the Christian life. The sacrificial service of the unforgettable Lottie Moon has inspired and enabled countless others to give their all for the dream of seeing the whole world reached with the gospel.
