On the Origin of Species is one of the great revolutionary books in
history; and the best source for understanding it is Charles
Darwin's correspondence. These eight award-winning volumes,
reprinted for the first time in paperback, present the definitive
text of all known letters to and from Darwin during the first
half-century of his remarkable life, including the Beagle voyage
and the great public debates on his evolutionary theory. In
riveting detail, they tell the story of an aimless English
schoolboy who emerged as the most controversial man of science of
his era. With hundreds of correspondents across the globe and from
all walks of life, the over 3000 letters presented here offer an
extraordinary panorama of the fast-changing world of the nineteenth
century. Poignant and powerful, they offer a moving commentary on
issues at the heart of our own concerns, from global environmental
change to the effects of science on religious belief.
