Isabel Thomas: Darwin's Journey, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The sea journey that changed science forever

Twenty-two-year-old Charles Darwin isn't looking to start a revolution. He's just a young man with a notebook, a passion for beetles, and a knack for finding trouble. In 1831 he sets sail on HMS Beagle for a five-year journey of discovery. Braving massive earthquakes in the Andes, trekking through jungles, and coming face to face with the giant tortoises of the Galápagos, little does he know that this voyage will set him on a path to one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of science.

As he collects strange fossils and studies the beaks of tiny birds, Charles begins to see a pattern - an idea that explains how every living thing on Earth is connected. It's an idea that will challenge everything that humanity believes about life on Earth.
