Descripción:
Review/Headline Book Publishing, 2003. Softcover (15 x 24 cm), 336 pages. ISBN: 0755312902. Good condition. The wraps are bumped, scuffed and creased. Tight binding, clean textblock. "In FitzRoy, the authors tell the remarkable story of one of the nineteenth century's greatest seaman, whose work helped not only to enable Darwin to develop his theory of of evolution, but also to make the life of all sailors who came after him so much safer. In 2002, the shipping area Finisterre was renamed FitzRoy in his honour. This book shows why it was the least he deserved." Weight: 550g.
