Geological Observations on South America
Charles Darwin
During the Beagle voyage, Charles Darwin watched the coast of South America rising from the sea. Here he sets down his geological findings, from the raised beaches south of the Plata to the shaping of a whole continent. Careful observation meets bold theory in a foundational work of field geology. Travel the Andes and the pampas with one of science's sharpest eyes.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
