Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection has
been debated and disparaged over time, but there is no dispute that
he is responsible for some of the most remarkable and
groundbreaking scientific findings in history. His five-year trip
as a naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagletook him on a journey to such
exotic locales as Chile, Argentina, and the Galapagos Islands.
Darwin wrote the details of this expedition, including his thoughts
about the people on the ship and of course, his observations of the
flora and fauna, in his journal, published as Voyage of the Beagle.
It is here that his original interpretations of the Galapagos
ecosystem and the impact of nature and selection are first
revealed.
This edition of the classic travel memoir is enhanced with an
introduction by bestselling nature writer David Quammen, and is
part of National Geographic’s major cross-platform event in spring
2009 to celebrate the anniversary.
Bestselling nature writer David Quammen introduces Charles
Darwin’s incredible tale of excursion that led to his revolutionary
theory of evolution–Voyage of the Beagle.

”Must we not acknowledge…that in each of us there are the
same principles and habits which there are in the State; and that
from the individual they pass into the State?”
What does it mean to be good? What enables us to distinguish
right from wrong? And how should human virtues be translated into a
just society? These are the questions that Plato sought to answer
in this monumental work of moral and political philosophy, a book
surpassed only by the Bible in its formative influence on two
thousand years of Western thought.
In the course of its tautly reasoned Socratic dialogues, The
Republic accomplishes nothing less than an anatomy of the soul and
an exhaustive de*ion of a State that both mirrors and enforces
the soul’s ideal harmony. The resulting text is at once mystical
and elegantly logical and may be read as a template for the
societies in which most of us live today.
