Flat spine with similar design in gilt gilt lettering. Colour-illustrated pasted and free endpapers. Top edges green. No dust jacket.<br><br> Notes: Charles Robert Darwin 1809 – 1882 was an English naturalist geologist and biologist renown for his contributions to the understanding of evolutionary biology. He has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. On the Origin of Species which discusses Darwin’s theory of natural selection is arguably his most famed work. <br><br> Size: 8vo. 170 x 110 mm Category: Book Science & Technology; Ward, Lock & Co. hardcover
