Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewBell's book is eminently readable, from start to finish, and cleverly mixes the scientific detail of the discoveries with personal anecdotes from the ship's log and crew journals, and puts them into the historical perspective of what was (still is) a formative period of international exploration, empire, and scientific advancement. * Richard Jones, Royal Entomological Society *
