Voyage of the Beagle foreshadows Darwin's world-changing On The Origin of Species (also a CSA Word audiobook read by Richard Dawkins), in its constant intellectual quest. Darwin - still only in his early twenties - never just accepts what he sees, but wants to understand it; he shares his thinking in clear, entertaining, witty, even lyrical writing. Professor Richard Dawkins, renowned evolutionist and author of ten books including The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth, reads a carefully considered selection of extracts which makes Darwin's observational and logical genius accessible to a whole new audience.

      The pairing of a narration by the greatest living evolutionary biologist, Dawkins, with the words of the greatest naturalist of all time, Darwin, is a stroke of genius. Darwin's record of his five-year voyage across the globe--from Brazil to the Galapagos, from New Zealand and Australia to South Africa--is elegantly written, with profound insights and observations. Professor Richard Dawkins's love for the subject matter shows in his gracefully precise articulation and mellifluous tone. His euphonic tone and precise but natural articulation make this adaptation of Darwin's journals a pleasure to hear. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
