"This engaging book answers many of key questions that define the evolutionary history of our current understanding of botany and modern biology. It is often said that Cambridge minds change the world but it is not often that we get a glimpse into how those minds changed each other. Many of the issues that Henslow faced and challenged are as topical now as they were two hundred years ago".

Dr Mark Treherne FRSB

"Having read your book I would just like to say how much I enjoyed it and although I have the other books written about JSH there were still things I didn't know. It was a lovely readable synopsis and very successfully achieves your stated intention was in writing it."

Jan Henslow, Great Great Grandson
