Publisher: Fall River PressPublication date: 09/29/2022Pages: 400Weight: 1.5 lbProduct dimensions: 5.40(w) x 8.30(h) x 1.50(d) An instant bestseller in 1859, few books have had such a revolutionary impact and left such a lasting impression as On the Origin of Species. Possibly the most important and challenging scientific book ever published, Darwin’s language remains surprisingly modern and direct. It is presented here in a faithful yet generously detailed facsimile edition. The text is taken from the second edition (1860), which incorporated some minor corrections but is otherwise the purest distillation of Darwin’s original vision. It includes a new foreword as well as an introductory appendix, An Historical Sketch of the Recent Progress of Opinion on the Origin, taken from the third edition (1861).

ON the ORIGIN of SPECIES by Charles Darwin Brand New The publication of Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species in 1859 marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought, but it also ignited a firestorm of controversy. More than two decades following his intercontinental voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, the English naturalist carefully advanced his theory of evolution by natural selection, offering coherent and highly readable views of adaptation, survival of the fittest, and other concepts that form the foundation of modern evolutionary theory. The first edition of Darwin’s original On the Origin of Species sold out on the day of publication, and as it continues to spark heated debate 150 years later, the work’s impact is undeniable. Launching modern biology and informing virtually all contemporary literary, philosophical, and religious thinking, this is a book that changed the world. This special edition features an elegantly designed cover and a durable flexible binding. It is an indispensable addition to any home history library.Send this book as a gift!
