"Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species in 2009, the Anniversary Edition of this classic book includes a treasure trove of photographs and illustrations not available in the earlier editions." "The book is based on transcriptions of the entire Australian sections of Darwin's diary, which are supplemented by extracts from field notes, letters and other published material. The lavish illustrations include contemporary works by two of Australia's most famous early artists, Augustus Earle and Conrad Martens, both of whom had been Darwin's Beagle shipmates earlier in the voyage."--BOOK JACKET.
