The Voyage of the Beagle

Darwin's scientific discoveries and adventures into his ship named Beagle.... All those islands and all those diversity... Makes world a very Unique place

Story of a journey. Darwin observed variation and adaptation of living organisms in nature. A valuable addition to my bookshelf.

Paper quality of penguin has remained the same, although acid washed...at least feels like it. As far the content is concerned, it is the Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle...enough said.

A great book for lovers of natural history!

Received this with the bottom left corner of the cover torn

I really enjoyed this book, an amazing 5 years adventure of Charles Darwin and Captain FitzRoy circumnavigating the world. Specially interesting for me was the journey through Chile, from cape Horn to Valparaiso my home town, since he provide a rich account of the people, geography and cities in those years. Also the visit to the Atlantic Island of St Helena where Napoleon was yet buried. Along the book there are some comments of Darwin about the differences of colonization made by Spanish and English settlement that I totally agree.

A recent cruise to South America prompted by curiosity about what Darwin saw. This book which replicates his journal was perfect and certainly the landscape and the creatures were still much the same. I marvelled at the ease with which he undertook hard overland journeys with very modest food and camping supplies. Without modern roads it was easy to see why sea and river travel in ships and boats, barges and rafts were preferred. Though neither an adventure or botanical book this story written by Darwin is an authentic view of his experiences on the Beagle that lead to a lifetime of thinking that moved humanity forward. Really interesting to any avid reader or traveler.

Un. Document de la toute première importance, écrit dans un Anglais absolument sublime.

This presentation of Darwin's classic Journal is beautifully researched and presented by Janet Browne and Michael Neve.

Darwin será sempre um autor indispensável em nossas bibliotecas. Esta obra em si traz um resumo de sua mais dignificante explo. na América do Sul.
