Product Description
Review
From the reviews: ‘… a record of his immediate feelings, the sea-sickness, the triumphs of his palaeontological finds, close shaves with General Rosas and military activity in Patagonia, drinking maté and smoking cigarilloes with the Gaucho, the stars glittering over the Andes … vivid and expressive...’. Janet Browne
‘Besides being an intriguing read, this book is a source of information that is invaluable to any student whose interest strays into the Darwin saga.’ Open History
‘What emerges more strongly are the vicissitudes of long distance travel in the 1830s … and a flavour of Darwin’s own personality … the book is highly recommended.’ Paul Ashtron, Biologist
Product Description
On 27th December 1831, HMS Beagle set out from Plymouth under the command of Captain Robert Fitzroy on a voyage that lasted nearly 5 years. The purpose of the trip was to complete a survey of the southern coasts of South America, and afterwards to circumnavigate the globe. The ship’s geologist and naturalist was Charles Darwin. Darwin kept a diary throughout the voyage in which he recorded his daily activities, not only on board the ship but also during the several long journeys that he made on horseback in Patagonia and Chile. His entries tell the story of one of the most important scientific journeys ever made with matchless immediacy and vivid descriptiveness.
