New. 1573928348. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-BRAND NEW, FLAWLESS COPY, NEVER OPENED--365 pages--DESCRIPTION: In his AUTOBIOGRAPHY, written in 1876 but published posthumously, the great naturalist Charles Darwin reflects on those crucial events that resulted in his discovering the scientific theory of organic evolution by means of natural selection. He examines his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle and subsequent preparation of a manuscript for his pivotal work, ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES (1859). Also included are many of Darwin's important letters, edited by his son, Francis. They reveal the freethinking geobiologist's thoughts on religious beliefs, scientific research, and the bitter controversy surrounding the far-reaching ramifications of evolutionary theory for life on Earth (including our own species). The reissue of this volume is a major contribution to the history and philosophy of evolutionary thought. --with a bonus offer--

Near Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean. Slight fading. Light reading wear to lower corners. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Amherst, New York: Prometheus, November 2000. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean. Slight fading. Light reading wear to lower corners. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xxxii + 365 pages. First published in 1892, this autobiography of the great naturalist, compiled and edited by his son Francis, offers fascinating glimpses into the mind and personal experiences of the man whose discoveries have had such a profound influence on science, philosophy, and the modern world view. In the first half of the book Darwin reminisces about his early life, his family and upbringing, and his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle, during which he made the many observations that were later to prove so critical to his formulation of evolutionary theory. The second half is devoted mainly to the Origin of Species: its foundations, development, the writing and publication process, its varied critical reception, and the gradual acceptance and growth of evolutionary theory. Also included are thoughts on his lesser-known work in geology and the fertilization of flowers, plus a selection of his letters. This autobiography is an intriguing behind-the-scenes look into the personal life of a great scientist and the development of one of the most powerful ideas of the modern era.
