3.0 out of 5 stars
Very readable - but needs a decent map!!,
This review is from: Evolution's Captain (Paperback)
The story of Robert FitzRoy who took Darwin around the world. FitzRoy's life is shown as tragedy, from his early attempt to "civilise" the natives of Tierra del Fuega to his realisation that having facilitated Darwin produced the massive attack by Science on his own fundamentalist beliefs. Written not by a historian with an understanding of the sea but by a yachtsman with a sound grasp of the history this is a very readable account - although the paperback is much in need of a good map of Patagonia (and a plan of the Beagle?)!
