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.

Описание: Published in 1891, this book recounts the author`s adventures on a journey in 1878 that took him from Bucharest, through Asia Minor and back to Trabzon on the Black Sea coast. He describes the habits and customs of Christian and Muslim communities that he encounters on the way.
Описание: The surgeon William Ainsworth (1807–96) acted as the geologist of the 1835 Euphrates Expedition, his account of which is also reissued in this series. Great interest was aroused by the scientific and archaeological findings of that journey, and the Royal Geographical Society helped to fund a further expedition, ostensibly to make contact with the Nestorian Christians of the region, but covertly to make further mineralogical investigations. Ainsworth was the leader of the expedition, and his two-volume account was published in 1842. Starting from Istanbul in 1839, he took a route through Asia Minor, northern Syria, Kurdistan, Persia and Armenia, returning to Istanbul in 1840. The expedition was not regarded as a success, as Ainsworth had massively overspent the budget originally allotted by the sponsors, and his secret activities were discovered by the Ottoman authorities, but the work remains a vivid account of the area.
Описание: Following the Euphrates Expedition of 1835, the surgeon William Ainsworth (1807-96) was made leader of a second expedition through Asia Minor, northern Syria, Kurdistan, Persia and Armenia, of which this two-volume account was published in 1842. Volume 1 covers events up to the battle of Nezib in 1839.
