About this title: Charles Darwin was a bumbling neophyte naturalist when he boarded the Beagle in 1831. Through the five years that followed, as the ship hugged the coastline of South America, Darwin found himself crawling through waist-deep mud, climbing towerlike trees in the rainforest, and scaling craggy Patagonian cliffs as he collected specimens and closely observed the relationship between the creatures he stalked and the astonishing, utterly unfamiliar landscapes where he found them.

"more aboput Darwin's 5 year voyage on the Beagle and what it meant to his developing his theories than I had any idea about very interesting book with a lot of promise"
"I loved her first book so much that I had really high expectations for this one. There were a few flashes of that love here but sometimes the book wandered around a bit too much for me. Because we will be going to the Galapagos soon, it was an interesting read, but I just didn't love it like her first book."
