@gailmarshall.bsky.socialHi Matthew. Good look with your book. I’m very happy to chat smut 1859, if helpful. Do you know the work of David Stack, a colleague at Reading, who’s also working on Darwin and heredity?
@gailmarshall.bsky.socialAdam, how very kind of you. I’m so delighted you liked the book - and came to the party. It was lovely to see you
@gailmarshall.bsky.socialExcellent - congratulations! And a beautiful cover
