Only after writing a list of pros and cons did Charles Darwin convince himself of the benefits of marriage. Yet once he'd decided in favor of matrimony, Charles had another concern: would his religious doubts cause marital strife? Though devout, the woman Charles married, Emma Wedgwood, happily read and edited Charles's writing on evolution. She also debated him when she felt it necessary-and he gave her thoughts considerable weight. While their marriage was full of hardship, it was also full of happiness, not to mention intelligent and interesting discourse. A 2009 National Book Award Finalist. A 2010 Michael L, Printz Honor Book. Winner of the 2010 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award.
