A great read, even though a bit sad. Interesting to read about the man who captained the 'Beagle', created the precursor to the Met office, and shipping forecasts (if you're interested in that, you should also read 'Attention all shipping' by Charlie Connelly). This was a great book describing a man who did so much but was also fighting his own demons.
