Book First Edition
Stiff Wraps. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. It's hard to talk about The Origin of Species without making statements that seem overwrought and fulsome. But it's true: this is indeed one of the most important and influential books ever written, and it is one of the very few groundbreaking works of science that is truly readable. To a certain extent it suffers from the Hamlet problem--it's full of clichés! Or what are now clichés, but which Darwin was the first to pen. Natural selection, variation, the struggle for existence, survival of the fittest: it's all in here. Darwin's friend and bulldog T.H. Huxley said upon reading the Origin, How extremely stupid of me not to have thought of that. Alfred Russel Wallace had thought of the same theory of evolution Darwin did, but it was Darwin who gathered the mass of supporting evidence--on domestic animals and plants, on variability, on sexual selection, on dispersal--that swept most scientists before it. It's hardly necessary to mention that the book is still controversial: Darwin's remark in his conclusion that Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history is surely the pinnacle of British understatement. --Mary Ellen Curtin This book was at one time owned by a library, however, with the exception of a stamp at the end of the book there are none of the usual library markings. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped and the text block is tight and clean.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. New York. Everyman's Library/Borzoi. Alfred Knopf. 2003. Hard Cover. Demy 8vo. 8¾" x 5⅝" (22.1 mm x 14.2 cm) approx. 913 pp and glossary and indices. Handsome burgundy cloth boards with black inlaid panel to spine containing gilt titles. Burgundy ribbon marker and publisher's everyman endpapers in pale yellow. Introduction by Richard Dawkins. When the eminent naturalist Charles Darwin returned from South America on board the H.M.S Beagle in 1836, he brought with him the notes and evidence which would form the basis of his landmark theory of evolution of species by a process of natural selection. This theory, published as The Origin of Species in 1859, is the basis of modern biology and the concept of biodiversity. It also sparked a fierce scientific, religious and philosophical debate which still continues today. The dust jacket will be protected with a new protective mylar sleeve which is removable.

First edition of this collection of the four works of Darwin. Thick octavo, original half cloth. Signed by the editor, Edward O. Wilson on the title page, who has drawn an image of an ant. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by B. Middleworth. Never before have the four great works of Charles Darwin Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle (1845), The Origin of Species (1859), The Descent of Man (1871), and The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) been collected under one cover. Undertaking this challenging endeavor 123 years after Darwin's death, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson has written an introductory essay for the occasion, while providing new, insightful introductions to each of the four volumes and an afterword that examines the fate of evolutionary theory in an era of religious resistance. In addition, Wilson has crafted a creative new index to accompany these four texts, which links the nineteenth-century, Darwinian evolutionary concepts to contemporary biological thought. Beautifully slipcased, and including restored versions of the original illustrations, From So Simple a Beginning turns our attention to the astounding power of the natural creative process and the magnificence of its products.
