SA Darwin went on a five-year voyage VOYAGE, marine law. The passage of a ship upon the seas, from one port to another, or to several ports. 2. Every voyage must have a terminus a quo and a terminus ad quem. around the world and returned with preliminary evidence for a theory that would set the world on end. This biography concentrates on the crucial two decades in Darwin's life between his famous voyage and the 1859 publication of the first edition of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. As such, it concentrates on the research he did during this time, a subject too often neglected. Darwin spent eight years of his life studying barnacles in minute detail, and the variations he observed in individual barnacles helped him clarify his theory of natural selection. Quammen describes with great clarity some of the controversy engendered by Darwin's book. We also get a glimpse into Darwin's personal life--his close and enduring marriage to Emma, and the loss of his beloved daughter Annie. Gardner offers a clear and professional reading.
