The surveying voyage would encircle the globe. Five years later he returned to Plymouth as an experienced naturalist with a growing reputation in England, a priceless collection of rare and unknown plants and creatures, and a set of notebooks containing the germ of an idea about the origin of species....one that was to shake the foundations of accepted wisdom everywhere. This is not only the tale of the Beagle's cruise but the account of a lifetime of intellectual inquiry... Gold boards with black title print to spine. matching gold endpapers. No ownership markings. Dust jacket retains price. A very nice,bright square copy.. First British Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
