George Robert Waterhouse and Charles Darwin
The living mammals of Darwin's voyage get their due here, described by George Waterhouse: vampire and leaf-nosed bats, mice, and other creatures collected across South America. Volume two catalogs the warm-blooded animals of the Beagle expedition with taxonomic care. A naturalist's ledger of a world-changing journey. Examine the mammals Darwin gathered on his travels.
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.
