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.

Darwin`s Armada tells the stories of Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley, Joseph Hooker & Alfred Wallace, four young amateur naturalists from Britain who voyaged to the southern hemisphere during the first half of the nineteenth century in search of adventure & scientific fame. It charts their thrilling voyages to the strange & beautiful lands of the southern hemisphere that reshaped the young mariners` scientific ideas & led them, on returning to Britain, to befriend fellow voyager Charles Darwin. All three crucially influenced the publication & reception of his Origin of Species in 1859, one of the formative texts of the modern world. For the first time the Darwinian revolution of ideas is seen as a genuinely collective enterprise & one that had its birth in a series of gripping & human travel adventures. Many of the most urgent ecological & social issues of our times are seen to be prefigured in this compelling story of intellectual discovery. ...
