| Description | "Few books have had such a sweeping effect on science, politics, and society that they can truly be said to have changed the world. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is one of those books. The controversies it generated when it was first published in 1859 continue unabated today. Perhaps no other book - and no author - has been so controversial. This new edition of Darwin's masterwork, edited and introduced by award-winning science journalist and author David Quammen, gives us unprecedented insight into the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection - and into the life and times of its discoverer. More than three hundred illustrations - which include paintings and photographs, botanical and zoological studies, newspaper engravings, and facsimile pages from Darwin's other books - meticulously depict the nineteenth-century world and its comfortable certainties Darwin overturned. Of all the influences that inexorably led Darwin toward the idea of natural selection, the most important was his experience as a naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle during its round-the-world voyage of 1831 to 1836. The illustrated Origin rightly devotes its most extensive attention to these five transformative years in the young Darwin's life, with scores of images of the places he visited, the peoples he encountered, and, of course, the plant and animal species that he observed and recorded. Featuring pictures that tell the story of Darwin's family and upbringing, his scientific predecessors and colleagues, and his critics and defenders, this edition of On the Origin of Species gives us a Darwin who is neither caricature hero nor cartoon villain, but instead a complex human being, as patient and humble as he was relentlessly inquisitive. The Darwin revealed in these pages is a quiet, cautious rebel - a dedicated man of science who painstakingly collected the evidence to support his revolutionary theory and a sensitive, considerate man who well understood the earthshaking impact it would have." -- | | Release Date | 2008 | | Author | Charles Darwin
