I hate every wave of the ocean', the seasick Charles Darwin wrote to his family during his five-year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. It was this world-wide journey, however, that launched the scientists career.

A Groundbreaking Story beautifully read
Revisado: 02-23-24
Darwin's observations of the natural world are truly insightful. Ranging from a precise description of a spider making a web on the ship to experiencing an earthquake, he carefully studied unique discreet phenomena and then speculated about the broader implications.
The reader fully captures Darwin's sense of wonder and observation; he captured Darwin's attempts to figure out the world based on his observations. He read the scientific names with grace and humor-a difficult task.
I would have liked a PDF of the images that are in the text, but found them at Darwin Online http://darwin-online.org.uk
It was a great book.

A Queer History of the United States abounds with startling examples of unknown or often ignored aspects of American history - the ineffectiveness of sodomy laws in the colonies, the impact of new technologies on LGBT life in the 19th century, and how rock music and popular culture were, in large part, responsible for the devastating backlash against gay rights in the late 1970s. Bronski documents how, over centuries, various incarnations of social purity movements have consistently attempted to regulate all sexuality, including fantasies, masturbation, and queer sex.

An Important book that I wish I had read sooner.

Insightful and complex narrative told with clarity and grace. The chapters are well-constructed and encyclopedic in discussing the many historic figures whose actions informed the evolving progress of the movement. It widened the understanding of American history
