PIERS ANTHONY WEYMOUTH, also known as Lord Wedgwood, the 26-year-old scion of the English china dynasty, is touring America. He comes not to take "snaps" of the Grand Canyon or the skyline of New York, he comes to promote trade and commerce in the 'colonies,' a 200-year-old tradition in his family. One of Wedgwood's former local customers had been Benjamin Franklin; in Pier's few more...

Having lived mainly a life of the mind, Charles Darwin is a difficult subject for popular biography. After five years aboard H.M.S. Beagle, he married Josiah Wedgwood's daughter, moved to the country and spent his days in study, writing, fathering children and improving his homestead. He never had money worries, did not drink, gamble or chase women. All he did was change mankind's image of itself. It was hardly a rush to judgment. For 17 years he had labored on his book in the study of a country house at Down, despite fits of nausea, depression...
