Darwin’s ship library goes online by Dennis Normile.

From the post:

As Charles Darwin cruised the world on the HMS Beagle, he had access to an unusually well-stocked 400-volume library. That collection, which contained the observations of numerous other naturalists and explorers, has now been recreated online. As of today, all of more than 195,000 pages and 5000 illustrations from the works are available for the perusal of scholars and armchair naturalists alike, thanks to the Darwin Online project.

Perhaps it isn’t the amount of information you have available but how deeply you understand it that makes a difference.

Yes?
