The title   refers to the second survey expedition of the ship HMS \u003ci\u003eBeagle\u003c\/i\u003e, which set   sail from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of captain Robert   FitzRoy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhile the expedition was originally planned to last two years, it lasted   almost five–the \u003ci\u003eBeagle\u003c\/i\u003e did not return until 2 October 1836. Darwin spent   most of this time exploring on land (three years and three months on land; 18   months at sea).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book, also known as Darwin's \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJournal of Researches\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, is a   vivid and exciting travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal   covering biology, geology, and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen   powers of observation, written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring   and charting the whole world. Although Darwin revisited some areas during the   expedition, for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to   places and locations rather than chronologically. With hindsight, ideas which   Darwin would later develop into his theory of evolution by natural selection are   hinted at in his notes and in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e- Excerpted from \u003cem\u003eWikipedia, \u003c\/em\u003ethe free encyclopedia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MobileReference","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135078777072,"sku":"9781605016498","price":0.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781605016498_p0.jpg?v=1763830042","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605016498","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
