This unique anthology brings together a marvelous collection of
Darwin's most accessible and significant writings, providing the
most fully rounded picture of his ideas to be found in a single
volume. This marvelous book presents readers with the key chapters
of his most important books, including excerpts from the Journal of
Researches on the Beagle voyage (1845), the Origin of Species
(1859), and the Descent of Man (1871), along with the full,
authoritative text of Darwin's delightful autobiography
Recollections. These writings are accompanied by generous
selections of responses from Darwin's nineteenth-century readers,
providing a keen sense of the original controversy sparked by his
ideas. The wide-ranging Introduction by James A. Secord explores
the global impact and origins of Darwin's work and the reasons for
its unparalleled significance today. The book also includes a map
of the Beagle's voyage, a biographical appendix identifying
everyone mentioned in the texts, illustrations from the Journal of
Researches, and an index. This generous collection of Darwin's
finest writings will make a superb introduction to ideas that truly
changed the world.
