Yet his passion for the natural world was so strong that he suffered through terrible seasickness during his five-year voyage aboard The Beagle. Darwin collected new creatures from the coasts of Africa, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, and expanded his groundbreaking ideas that would change people's understanding of the natural world. About 100 illustrations and a clear, exciting text will make Darwin and his theory of evolution an exciting discovery for every young reader.\u003cb\u003eDeborah Hopkinson's \u003c\/b\u003emost recent book is the ALA Award-Winning \u003ci\u003eApples to Oregon\u003c\/i\u003e.

He lived in a small English village where he raised pigeons, played with his children, and puttered in his garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough he lived a quiet life, Charles Darwin started a revolution—a revolution of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople have always wondered how life on Earth began. When Charles Darwin lived, most people in Europe and America believed God created the entire world in six days, just as it says in the Bible. But Charles Darwin was not most people. The \u003ci\u003eBeagle\u003c\/i\u003e voyage taught him to be a true scientist—to look closely at nature, question everything, and think in a new way about how life on Earth started. He showed how living things could naturally change, or evolve, over a long period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302811652325,"sku":"NP9780448437644","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780448437644.jpg?v=1767744196","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/who-was-charles-darwin-isbn-9780448437644","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
