达尔文(1809-1882),英国博物学家,进化论的奠基人。1825年至1828年达尔文在爱丁堡大学学医,后进入剑桥大学学习神学。1831年从剑桥大学毕业后,以博物学家的身份乘海军勘探船“小猎犬号”作历时5年(1831-1836)的环球旅行,观察和搜集了动物、植物的地质等方面的大量材料,经过归纳整理和分析,形成了生物进化的概念。1859年出版《物种起源》一书,全面提出以自然选择为基础的进化学说。该书出版震动当时的学术界,使当时生物学各领域已经形成的概念和观念发生根本性的改变。
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. "Beagle"took 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.

评分书真的是不错,达尔文环球之旅非常吸引人。但不得不说,本书的翻译实在是太差了。“种”和“品种”搅和了半天,译者最后自己也没明白。其他语言上和科学上的错误随处可见。 希望下次再翻译此类图书时,出版社要找个专业人士把把关。
