Young Charles Darwin's interest in natural history dismayed his father and many of his teachers-they wished Charles would study instead of wandering about in nature or playing with chemistry sets. But Charles's obsession paid off : at age twenty-two, he was awarded the post of naturalist on a surveying ship about to make a trip around the world. After spending several years investigating exotic places, plants, and animals, Charles returned to England to compile his notes about what he experienced and observed. He also found a new passion-for Emma Wedgwood, his future wife. Map. Afterword. Bibliography.
