In 1831, the young Charles Darwin, only twenty-three years of age, embarked aboard HMS Beagle as its naturalist on a five-year surveying expedition around the world. Acclaimed historian and travel writer Alan Moorehead retraces this remarkable journey through South America, the Galápagos Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti and beyond, vividly recreating the landscapes, peoples and discoveries that shaped Darwin's early scientific thinking.\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                Drawing extensively upon Darwin's journals and correspondence, Moorehead explores the gradual development of the ideas that would ultimately revolutionise biology and lead to the theory of evolution by natural selection. The book not only follows Darwin's observations of geology, flora and fauna, but also examines his relationship with the Beagle's captain, Robert FitzRoy, whose deeply held religious convictions stood in striking contrast to Darwin's emerging scientific views. The narrative captures both the excitement of nineteenth-century exploration and the intellectual transformation of one of history's greatest naturalists.\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               Published by Hamish Hamilton, London, in 1969, this first edition is beautifully produced and generously illustrated with contemporary engravings, paintings, maps and reproductions drawn from the period of the voyage itself. Combining biography, travel narrative and the history of science, Darwin and the Beagle remains one of the finest popular accounts of Darwin's formative expedition and an attractive addition to any collection relating to natural history, exploration, maritime history or the life and work of Charles Darwin.
