To the edge of the world

by Harry Thompson

"In 1831, Fitzroy and Darwin?the captain and the naturalist?board the Beagle and set sail for Tierra del Fuego and points beyond. As they travel around the world, exploring the coasts of Patagonia and surveying the Gal?pagos Islands, the two men forge a life-long bond while simultaneously debating morality, nationality, biology, fate, and religion. And as Darwin formulates his theory of evolution, in the process he destroys everything Captain Fitzroy, the Christian Tory aristocrat, stands for"--The publisher.
