The Beagle has become synonymous with Charles Darwin and his groundbreaking work; On the Origin of Species. But how did Darwin come to be onboard? Now reissued in paperback in a single volume; all the various strands of the Beagle story have been woven together; revealing the circumstances that set the expedition in motion and the characters who circumnavigated the world together. Enriched with firsthand commentary from personal letters and diaries and the official narrative of the voyage; as well as artwork; sketches; and charts produced by the shipboard artists and surveyors; James Taylor has produced a thoroughly engaging and informative account that will appeal to historians; scientists; art lovers; and anyone with a sense of adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and learnt so much more of ...By CustomerQuest for the Celtic Key Dr. Karen Ralls; scholarly examines the beliefs and history of the Druid and Culdees and from these beginnings the birth of Scottish Freemasonry. Dr. Ralls makes no assumptions; she assumes nothing if she cannot find proof of it; she is scholarly enough to say so.As with this and her other works she carefully researches the subject before putting pen to paper.I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and learnt so much more of this interesting subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
