In 1831, Charles Darwin embarked on an expedition that, in his
own words, determined my whole career. The Voyage of the
Beagle chronicles his five-year journey around the world and
especially the coastal waters of South America as a naturalist on
the H.M.S. Beagle. While traveling through these unexplored
countries collecting specimens, Darwin began to formulate the
theories of evolution and natural selection realized in his master
work, The Origin of Species. Travel memoir and scientific primer
alike, The Voyage of the Beagle is a lively and accessible
introduction to the mind of one of history's most influential
thinkers.
