In Darwin's footsteps: As part of the opening chapter of Master of Field Arts, I include an image of Charles Darwin's journal where he sketched out his origin of species theory . . . Here I sit overlooking Plymouth from the Mt. Edgcumbe estate, where Mr. Darwin explored the coves whilst awaiting the fitment of the Beagle.

In his journal Darwin wrote:

"I walked on the seashore and returned home through a part of Lord Mt. Edgcumbe's park. The day has been very fine and the view of Plymouth was exceedingly striking. The country is so indented with arms of the sea that there is a very new and different scene from every point of view." 26 November, 1831

Something about sketching the very land where Darwin roamed sets the perfect Field Arts theme for the debut of Master of Field Arts in the UK and Europe, even Australia! (See HERE for ordering information and BONUS for the first 15 customers of each book.)
