Description: **** LIKE NEW CONDITION ADULT OWNED / SMOKE FREE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE INQUIRE Darwin and the Beagle Alan Moorehead 1969 HC 1st Ed. Nature History Biology Travel - R20 Charles Darwin as naturalist on HMS Beagle voyage in 1831. An account of Charles Darwin's five year voyage on the Beagle in which he became an established authority on coral reefs, volcanoes and island life. Experiments and a digest of his observations led to his concept of evolution. Alan Moorehead was lionised as the literary man of action: the most celebrated war correspondent of World War II; author of award winning books; star travel writer of The New Yorker; pioneer publicist of wildlife conservation. At the height of his success, his writing suddenly stopped and when, 17 years later, his death was announced, he seemed a heroic figure from the past. His fame as a writer gave him the friendship of Ernest Hemingway, George Bernard Shaw and Field Marshall Montgomery and the courtship and marriage of his beautiful wife Lucy Milner. After 1945, he turned to writing books, including Eclipse, Gallipoli (for which he won the Duff Cooper Prize), The White Nile, The Blue Nile, and finally, A Late Education. He was awarded an OBE in 1946, and died in 1983.
