Da bambino, Charles Darwin odiava la scuola e veniva spesso rimproverato per aver condotto esperimenti inutili. Eppure la sua passione per il mondo naturale era così forte che soffrì di un terribile mal di mare durante il suo viaggio di cinque anni a bordo del Beagle. Darwin raccolse nuove creature dalle coste dell'Africa, del Sud America e delle Isole Galapagos e ampliò le sue idee rivoluzionarie che avrebbero cambiato la comprensione del mondo naturale da parte delle persone. Circa 100 illustrazioni e un testo chiaro ed emozionante renderanno Darwin e la sua teoria dell'evoluzione una scoperta emozionante per ogni giovane lettore.

Who Was Charles Darwin?
Charles Darwin took a five-year trip around the world on a ship called the Beagle, but he liked staying home best of all. He lived in a small English village where he raised pigeons, played with his children, and puttered in his garden.
Although he lived a quiet life, Charles Darwin started a revolution—a revolution of thought.
People have always wondered how life on Earth began. When Charles Darwin lived, most people in Europe and America believed God created the entire world in six days, just as it says in the Bible. But Charles Darwin was not most people. The Beagle voyage taught him to be a true scientist—to look closely at nature, question everything, and think in a new way about how life on Earth started. He showed how living things could naturally change, or evolve, over a long period of time.
