"U enjoyed Darwin's narrative of his travels and observations. I can't help but wonder what his keen observations would be today if he possessed the scientific knowledge that is now available. Reading the book also made me want to visit South America again."
"I like this book as a study of the writing-style, technical language, and scientific perspectives of the time, but it is not essential reading for the study of evolution. Of Darwin and the history of evolutionary theory, surely, but not the active study."
"This is the abridged version by Millicent E. Selsam. Amazing account of Darwin's 5 years at sea. You really get insight into how he was able to put together his theory of evolution. Interesting how he thought through the way coral reefs were formed.Very readable. This version is from the 1950's and probably out of print, but still quite relevant today."
"A really great travel and scientific journal of South America. Recommended reading for anyone planning a trip to Brazil, Patagonia, Ecuador, etc. The historical context and zoological and geological descriptions are interesting to this day."
