In 1831, Charles Darwin embarked on his first voyage. Though he was a
scientist by profession, he was an explorer at heart. While journeying
around South America for the first time aboard a ninety-foot-long ship
named the Beagle, Charles collected insets, dug up bones, galloped
with gauchos, encountered volcanoes and earthquakes, and even ate
armadillo for breakfast! The discoveries he made during this adventure
would later inspire ideas that changed how we see the world.
Complete with mesmerizing map work that charts Darwin's thrilling
five-year voyage, as well as "Fun Facts" and more, Charles Darwin's
Around-the-World Adventure captures the beauty and mystery of nature
with wide-eyed wonder.
