"An important enhancement and expansion of a work that has long been a classic as the authoritative, painstakingly researched presentation of the recurring episodes of ill health that afflicted Charles Darwin. Colp has not only added more freshly researched detail, he has now given two new dimensions to the book." - David Kohn, General Editor, Darwin Digital Library of Evolution, American Museum of Natural History, and Oxnam Professor of the History of Science, Emeritus, Drew University "Colp is the expert on Darwin's illnesses. His book provides the reader with up-to-date knowledge of these illnesses, what apparently caused them, and what their effects were on Darwin and those around him." - Duncan M. Porter, Virginia Tech University "Darwin's Illness may not be the end, but it is unquestionably the vital starting-point for all future reflection on the health of history's most famous sick scientist." - James Moore, coauthor of Darwin: The Life of a Tormented Evolutionist"
