Synopsis

Voyage of the Beagle

About this title

Review:

The book brings together a wonderful mixture of old and new illustrations and information about the voyage from widely scattered sources creating a work that will fascinate old Beaglers and landlubbers alike. No Darwin bookshelf would be complete without this book. --John Van Wyhe, BBC History Magazine

James Taylor has adopted a unique way of telling the story in an extremely thorough way, weaving together the various strands of the voyage in a manner not previously adopted, which is much more informative as you see the characters in the round. --D. B. Clement, South West Soundings, South West Maritime History Society

It really is a gorgeously produced book, which no Darwin groupie's library should be without. In an earlier review, the Beagle Project's Peter McGrath, FCD, described the book as essential and suggested that some philanthropist should endow every state school biology lab in the country with a copy. I concur wholeheartedly. --The Friends of Charles Darwin

Book Description:

The story of the infamous sailing vessel the Beagle and the voyage that led to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work On the Origin of Species.
