  Fitzroy: The Story of Darwin's Captain and the Invention of the Weather Forecast
Fitzroy: The Story of Darwin's Captain and the Invention of the Weather Forecast 
Admiral Robert Fitzroy gained fame as the captain of the "Beagle", during a circumnavigation of which Charles Darwin made the observations that led him to his theory of evolution by natural selection. But there is much more to his story: in 1854 he set up Britain’s Meteorological Office, providing weather forecasts that saved the lives of many sailors. A very readable portrait of a complex and dedicated man.
