The
Voyage of the Beagle: Charles Darwin's Journal of Researches
by Charles Darwin, Janet Browne, Michael Neve (Editor), Michael
Neue (Editor) Needless to say a classic. From 1831 to 1836 Charles
Darwin, then a young man in his twenties, was the official naturalist
on the Royal Navy ship HMS Beagle. The Beagle spent five years
completing a survey of the coasts of South America, most notably
the Galapagos which weighed heavily in his development of the
theory of natural selection. These are accounts from his voyage.
He always wrote with an air of discovery and excitement. Its
contageous. |

The
Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin, Greg Suriano (Editor)
Without a doubt "The Origins of Species" is one of
the most seminal, controversial, and misunderstood books ever
written. Charles Darwin is one of the giants of intellectual
history, as much of his logic and theories have withstood the
test of time. Many of his specific theories have been disproved,
(see "Beak of the Finch" below) but it is still a
monumental work that everyone should read. |
|
The
Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time by Jonathan
Weiner. An in depth look into years of evolutionary studies
by Princeton professors Peter and Rosemary Grant written an
excellent scientific journalist. These people know their finches
and their evolution. Gives a unique perspective to nature that
goes way beyond Darwin. Great read for those interested in the
basis of evolution - measured generation by generation, millimeter
by millimeter - yet very accessible. Won the Pulitzer Prize!
