Описание: While in the Society Islands, British missionary William Ellis (1794-1872) keenly observed indigenous Polynesian life and customs that were already shifting under Western influences. Published in 1829, this two-volume collection records his admiration of an inventive and complex culture, alongside his horror at its polytheistic rituals.

Описание: Published in 1845, this is the second edition of Charles Darwin`s famous journal from his five-year scientific expedition on H.M.S. Beagle. The observations and discoveries he published here eventually inspired his revolutionary theory of evolution by natural selection, and so created a storm in the scientific and religious communities.
