Publisher's Summary
Voyage of the Beagle foreshadows Darwin's world-changing On The Origin of Species (also a CSA Word audiobook read by Richard Dawkins), in its constant intellectual quest. Darwin - still only in his early 20s - never just accepts what he sees, but wants to understand it; he shares his thinking in clear, entertaining, witty, even lyrical writing.
Professor Richard Dawkins, renowned evolutionist and author of ten books including The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion, and The Greatest Show on Earth, reads a carefully considered selection of extracts which makes Darwin's observational and logical genius accessible to a whole new audience.

Great book
Well written and super interesting. Recommend to all, not just for the descriptions of animals but for the colour of the whole world at that time

A great insight
A very interesting first hand account of an amazing journey by one of our greatest minds. His description and hypotheses on geology, zoology and botany make up the most fascinating passages. This being a journal, there is no narrative or main thesis, so don't expect one. This book is not for the reactionary easily offended folks who love to call everyone a patriarchal racist. Stay away from this great historical document!
