Publisher's Synopsis
The Journal of Researches, also known as The Voyage of the Beagle, is a travelogue written by Charles Darwin detailing his five-year journey aboard the HMS Beagle. Originally published in 1839, this edition was published in 1905 and includes an introduction by the author's granddaughter. In the book, Darwin writes about his observations and experiences during his travels to South America, the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. He documents the geology, flora, and fauna of the regions he visited, and provides insights into the cultures and societies of the people he encountered.The Journal of Researches is considered a landmark in the field of natural history and evolution, as it influenced Darwin's later work on the theory of natural selection. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential scientists in history and his observations on the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
