The Voyage of The Beagle Audiobook (Free)

The Voyage of the Beagle – or, to provide it its full title, Journal of Researches into the Organic History and Geology from the Countries Visited Through the Voyage Across the Globe of H.M.S. Beagle Under Order of Captain Fitzroy, R.N. – is much more than simply an account of Darwin’s scientific observations in his 1831-36 travels throughout the world: it really is fine travel writing in its own correct. The Voyage of the Beagle foreshadows Darwin’s life-changing On the foundation of Varieties, in its constant intellectual mission. Darwin – still only in his early twenties – under no circumstances just allows what he views, but really wants to understand it; he stocks his considering in clear, engaging, witty, even lyrical writing. Browse and abridged by highly-acclaimed evolutionist and article writer, Richard Dawkins.
