    Nice, but one oops

    3/24/12| Andy
    This is a nice presentation of Darwin's voyage on the Beagle. It demonstrates how the evidence that Darwin gathered influenced his ideas to create his theory of evolution.

    One thing, barnacles are crustaceans, not mollusks and so are related to crabs and lobsters not clams and oysters as is written in the book.

    The Stuff of Science!

    Darwin is such a mystery to so many people, but this book helps the young scientist see a real, dimensional person. I am glad to see science explained so well for a young audience.
