"Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection (in The Origin of Species) is second to none. Think of what it explains - and I really mean explains in the fullest sense of the word: your existence and mine; the form, diversity, and apparently designed complexity and elegance of all living things, not only on this planet but probably wherever in the universe organized complexity may be found...
"The Voyage of the Beagle" is a travel book by one of the most intelligently observant and thoughtful travelers of all time. What a privilege to see the world through such eyes. What a bonus to glimpse the mind of a developing genius in the flower of his robust and energetic youth...Darwin's travel notes offer tantalizing glimpses of how his mind was working toward the great truth that her was later to unveil for us."
