Product Information

In this fascinating new book, award-winning author Ruth Ashby shares the story of Darwins famous journey aboard the British navy ship, the Beagle, which led to the development of his theories of evolution and natural selection. Ashbys lively account follows the naturalists exciting trip around the worldthrough seasickness, a life-threatening illness, and even an earthquakeas he explores South America, the Cape Verde Islands, Tahiti, and the Galapagos Islands. During his travels, Darwin meets indigeus peoples and carefully collects and catalogs plants, fossils, birds, mammals, and insects. Darwins observations of the distribution and diversity of plant and animal life ultimately leads to the development of his theories on evolution and the publication of ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES in 1859. Readers will be inspired by Darwins transformation from talented but mediocre schoolboy into a remarkable scientist as they read about the revolutionary voyage that forever changed the world of biology.
