This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of the voyage of the HMS Beagle, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology made by Charles Darwin. Perhaps this printing of the famed naturalist's voyage will inspire the reader, young or old. As Charles Darwin said, in his own words, "It appears to me that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in distant countries. It both sharpens, and partly allays that want and craving". The book's index is cross referenced in the text itself in boldface type. It is hoped this will allow quick reference for those using this edition as a reference guide.

This is Charles Darwin's rewrite of the journal of his voyage round the world in a British exploring vessel, the Beagle. Its scientific significance is that in it he records observations that gave him inklings that species were not eternally fixed but could evolve.
It's also a rattling good adventure and travel story. The best book I took to the Galapagos,it made serious fun tracing Darwin's movements, and fun fun teasing my fellow greenies. "The hawks are so tame I pushed one off his perch with the muzzle of my shotgun", "The tortoises of James Island are esteemed especially tasty." led to "Why are you shcked? I was quoting Darwin."
