Charles Darwin: An Australian Selection edited by Julie Simpkin

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges, with some light shelf wear on the pale yellow card back cover.

The impact that Charles Darwin's short visit to Australia in 1836 had on the man himself and on the emerging nation was profound. Darwin found much in Australia to challenge and inform his thinking.

Richly illustrated with images of rare prints and paintings, this book also includes extracts from Darwin's Beagle diary and personal reflections by Robyn Williams, Tom Frame, and Nicholas Drayson. (back cover)
