Book Description: National Geographic Society, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 287 x 257 mm. Brand New Book. In 1831 a 22-year-old naturalist named Charles Darwin stepped aboard the "HMS Beagle" as a traveling companion of an equally youthful sea captain called Robert FitzRoy. The "Beagle's" round-the-world surveying journey lasted five long years on the high seas. The young Darwin noticed everything, and proved himself an avid and detailed chronicler of daily events on the "Beagle" and onshore. "What Darwin Saw" takes young readers back to the pages of his journals as they travel alongside Darwin and read his lively and awestruck words about the wonders of the world. We follow Darwin's voyage, looking over his shoulder as he explores new lands, asks questions about the natural world, and draws groundbreaking conclusions. We walk in his footsteps, collecting animals and fossils, experiencing earthquakes and volcanoes, and meeting people of many cultures and languages. We examine his opinions on life in all its forms. We consider the thoughts of this remarkable scientist, who poured his observations and research into his expansive theories about life on Earth. In this exciting and educational account, Charles Darwin comes alive as an inspirational model for kids who think and question the world around them. Bookseller Inventory # FLT9781426303975
