Voyage of the Beagle (NG Adventure Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
1909. The text of the present volume shows without further comment the nature of Darwin's labors and their results on his momentous voyage. A few sentences gathered from his autobiography will, however, throw some additional light upon the more personal aspects of the expedition. "The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life, and has determined my whole career. I have always felt that I owe to the voyage the first real training or education of my mind."
