DARWIN'S FIRST THEORY: Exploring Darwin's Quest to Find a Theory of the Earth

Darwin traveled in South America on board the HMS Beagle as a geologist on a mission to examine the land. Retracing his footsteps, Wesson hunts for fossils in Uruguay and Argentina, and explores sites of long vanished glaciers in Scotland and Wales. As he follows Darwin's path, he experiences the land as Darwin did and tackles the same questions Darwin had about our ever-changing Earth. 32 pages of illustrations, most in color.
