VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLECHARLES DARWIN Book Number: 25257 Product format: PaperbackDarwin's writings as an independent naturalist on the HMS Beagle between 1831 and 1836 capture the natural world's beauty in his own sublime language. In a travel journal which takes us from the coasts and interiors of South America to the South Sea Islands, his descriptive powers are constantly challenged, but never once overcome. Here is his speculative mind at work, posing questions about the Earth's structure, animal forms, anthropology and the origins of life itself. 480 page reprint in paperback. Line illus.
