**This entertaining combination of history, biography, and travel adventure is “a bracingly fresh portrait [of] Darwin . . . Nothing less than exhilarating” (Michael Pollan, *New York Times–* bestselling author of *The Omnivore’s Dilemma* ).** One snowy day in Ushuaia, Argentina, Eric Simons picked up a copy of Charles Darwin’s *The Voyage of the Beagle*. Simons had just hiked the mountains overlooking Beagle Channel, and found himself engrossed in Darwin’s surprisingly relatable account. Like Simons, Darwin had been in his mid-twenties when he traveled to South America in search of adventure. Inspired, Simons went further into South America, exploring the histories, legends, and people that had fascinated Darwin himself two centuries before. In *Darwin Slept Here* , Simons journeys in the footsteps of one of the fathers of modern science, introducing readers to “a refreshingly different Darwin: a twenty-something traveler fond of hurling iguanas into the sea and charging up any tall peak he could find” ( *Outside Magazine* ). **“Hard to put Simons’ book down—lighthearted adventures that keep a reader wanting more.” — *San Francisco Chronicle***
