John Earle’s Cicerone guide to Walking on Dartmoor explores one of England’s favourite National Park walking destinations as well as its surrounding areas. Dartmoor has been referred to as one of the last great wildernesses in the country, where it is possible to get further away from civilisation than anywhere else.

- the South Moor, Widecombe walks, the North-East Moor, the North-West Moor & other Long walks taking in a total of 43 walking experiences. Each walk has a distance & difficulty rating at the start to help walkers plan their routes & the guide also allows for those of different abilities. An extensive introduction

One snowy day in Ushuaia, Argentina, the self-proclaimed 'southernmost city in the world, ' at the end of a long trip designed to put as much distance between himself & a frustrating post-college job as possible, writer Eric Simons picked up a copy of Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. Simons & two friends had just hiked the mountains overlooking Beagle Channel, & Simons found himself engrossed in Darwin's account. Like Simons, Darwin was in his mid-twenties when he travelled to the continent, having joined a five-year expedition designed to survey & map the coastline of South America, to serve as the expedition's naturalist. Simons found himself compelled to return to follow Darwin further into South America
- to stand where Darwin had, & to explore the histories, legends & people that had fascinated him two centuries before. Simons trekked to as many of the locations Darwin wrote about as he could find, to see if he could see these places through Darwin's eyes, & to see what South Americans know about Darwin.2009 is a double anniversary year for Darwin: The 200th anniversary of his birth in February, & the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species in November. Part travelogue, part insight into one of the greatest scientific minds in history, Darwin Slept Here will fascinate & enthral.
