PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Simons captures the exhilaration of the young naturalist's adventures in this brisk account of travels in the footsteps of Darwin in South America. Skipping from Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Montevideo to Ushuaia, Chiloe and Coquimbo, Simons (in his 20s, just like Darwin, he points out), is refreshingly irreverent about the whole affair, mixing Darwin's observations with his own experiences.
