As a young boy, Charles Darwin hated school and was often scolded
forconducting "useless" experiments. Yet his passion for the natural
world was so strong that he suffered through terrible seasickness during
his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle. Darwin collected new creatures
from the coasts of Africa, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, and
expanded his groundbreaking ideas that would change people's
understanding of the natural world. About 100 illustrations and a clear,
exciting text will make Darwin and his theory of evolution an exciting
discovery for every young reader.
