'Three Great Naturalists' is a detailed account of the lives and works of three of the world’s most influential naturalists: Charles Darwin, Frank Buckland, and John George Wood. This fascinating biographical volume will appeal to those with an interest in the lives of these influential thinkers who were undeniably ahead of their time, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: 'Charles Darwin', 'Birth and Childhood', 'College Days', 'The Voyage of the Beagles', 'The Voyage of the Beagles (continued)', 'Darwin’s Great Work', 'The Naturalist at Home', 'Closing Days', 'Boyhood', 'Early Manhood', 'Military Career', 'Work Amongst the Fish', 'The Naturalist at Home', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
