Diana Preston Unisex Multicolor The Evolution Of Charles Darwin : The Epic Voyage Of The Beagle
From the Los Angeles Times Book Prizewinning historian, the colorful, dramatic story of Charles Darwins journey on HMS Beagle that inspired the evolutionary theories in his pathbreaking books On the Origin of Species and The Descent of ManWhen twentytwoyearold aspiring geologist Charles Darwin boarded HMS Beagle in 1831 with his microscopes and specimen bottlesinvited by ships captain Robert FitzRoy who wanted a travel companion at least as much as a ships naturalisthe hardly thought he was embarking on what would become perhaps the most important and epochchanging voyage in scientific history.
