Darwin recalled in his autobiography: 'this book consists chiefly of the several papers on heterostyled flowers originally published by the Linnean Society corrected with much new matter added together with observations on some other cases in which the same plant bears two kinds of flowers. As before remarked no little discovery of mine ever gave me so much pleasure as the making out the meaning of heterostyled flowers.' Freeman 1286. Darwin 'Life and Letters' I 78.

1889101185Londres, John Murray, 1889, in-8, 2 parties en 1 volume : XVI-693 pp, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, "Of the older and honoured chiefs in natural science, many unfortunately are still opposed to evolution in every form" (p.1). "It is only our natural prejudice, and that arrogance which made our forefathers declare that they were descended from demi-gods, which leads us to demur to this conclusion" (p. 25). Mention de seconde édition et 25e mille : il s'agit d'un retirage de l'édition en un volume de 1888. Figures dans le texte. Le 24 Octobre 1859, Darwin fait paraitre The Origin of Species, où il expose sa théorie sur l'évolution des organismes par la sélection naturelle agissant en milieu animal et végétal. Treize ans plus tard, il publie The Descent of Man, où il prouve que l'homme est le descendant modifié d'espèces préexistantes, puis développe la théorie de la sélection sexuelle, facteur également d'évolution des espèces et de différenciation des races humaines. L'ouvrage rattache enfin la généalogie de l'homme à celle de l'animal et étend le transformisme à l'espèce humaine; Darwin y démontre la filiation à partir de singes de l'Ancien Monde. Afin d'établir sa théorie, il compare l'évolution du développement des embryons humains à ceux des animaux inférieurs. L'ouvrage a donné lieu à d'innombrables caricatures jouant sur la ressemblance entre le singe et l'homme. C'est aussi ici que le naturaliste défend le processus de civilisation humaine, qui protège et assure la survie des faibles, à l'inverse de la sélection naturelle qui les élimine.

1890B281London: John Murray 1890. Second Edition Revised Fifth Thousand. Hardcover. Very good . From Wikipedia:<br /> "Fertilisation of Orchids is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin published on 15 May 1862 under the full explanatory title On the Various Contrivances by Which British and Foreign Orchids Are Fertilised by Insects and On the Good Effects of Intercrossing. Darwin's previous book On the Origin of Species had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised and this new idea was explored in detail. Field studies and practical scientific investigations that were initially a recreation for Darwin-a relief from the drudgery of writing-developed into enjoyable and challenging experiments. Aided in his work by his family friends and a wide circle of correspondents across Britain and worldwide Darwin tapped into the contemporary vogue for growing exotic orchids.<br /> <p>The book was his first detailed demonstration of the power of natural selection and explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the coevolution of orchids and insects. The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation. It influenced botanists and revived interest in the neglected idea that insects played a part in pollinating flowers. It opened up the new study areas of pollination research and reproductive ecology directly related to Darwin's ideas on evolution and supported his view that natural selection led to a variety of forms through the important benefits achieved by cross-fertilisation. Although the general public showed less interest and sales of the book were low it established Darwin as a leading botanist. Orchids was the first in a series of books on his innovative investigations into plants."<br /> <br /> This copy of the second edition is very good in the publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles on the spine and blind-stamped borders on both covers. Very slight scuffing at the corners and very slight fraying at the spine ends. Three small bubbles in the cloth on the front cover. The front hinge is just the beginning of cracking of the endpaper but no other marks or damage at all. Except for the front hinge it would be near fine.</p> . <br /> <br /> <br /> Freeman 810.

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an importent paper announcing Darwin's so-called "Resonance Theory" of the origin of the moon according to which the moon might have originated from the fission of a parent earth as the result of an instability produced by resonant solar tides."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. </em> unknown
