DARWIN: A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY

Book ID/图书代码： 12580015B81225

English Summary/英文概要： DARWIN: A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY is an inspiring expedition into the physical and intellectual adventures of one of the world’s greatest scientists, Charles Darwin. Presenting Darwin’s life in a smart and entertaining graphic novel, perfect for ages 10 and up, DARWIN: A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY 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 inquisitive, patient, and meticulous. He persevered--a great lesson about what science is all about.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《达尔文：图像传记》是对世界上最伟大的科学家查尔斯·达尔文的生理和智力冒险的一次极具启发性的探究之旅。《达尔文》一书将以具有娱乐性的小幅图片的方式呈现达尔文的生平故事，完美适合于10岁及以上读者，本书将不仅向读者们介绍达尔文生平，还将帮助他们了解19世纪的科学世界。图像媒介是重新构造时间框架的完美方式，可以成功地让读者们身处达尔文身边，共同历险。达尔文两手都抓着样本，却又焦急的想要获得另外一只，情急之下只能将第三只甲壳虫咬在嘴里。用这样的一种方式呈现达尔文当时的生活状态不论对哪个年龄段的孩子而言都是极具启发性的故事。他们一定能够从中认识一个年轻又好奇的达尔文，用自己在房子附近的田间探险找到属于自己的追求与方向。达尔文的童年时光中的起伏与几近丢失都获得了真实的刻画，并且并未受到其后来名声大躁的影像。这正是年轻读者们最需要关注的一点：达尔文并非生来便注定成为伟人。他好奇，有耐心并且非常审慎。他的坚持---就像是一堂最伟大的课程，讲述了有关于科学所需要的一切。（DC）
