Amazon - The Voyage of the Beagle by Charles Darwin
One of more than 200 Amazon customer reviews:
"I must admit that I was quite surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. Having no preconceived notions, I choose this book as part of a reading challenge and was very impressed with Darwin's descriptions of his travels and also his disdain of slavery and the mistreatment of slaves in the countries he visited. Excellent observations not just of flora and fauna but of man's influence on nature."
Wikipedia - The Voyage of the Beagle
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
