1883104581London: John Murray 1883. Ealry printing of Darwin's final work published shortly before his death. Octavo original cloth illustrated. In near fine condition Bookplate to the pastedown. A sharp example of this work by the leading mind in evolutionary biology. One of the most important figures in human history English naturalist geologist and biologist Charles Darwin became internationally renowned for his contributions to the science of evolution. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace 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. Darwin published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species. By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However many favored competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Published in 1883 The Formation Of Vegetable Mould Through The Action of Worms covers in depth the important role of the earthworm on the constantly changing topsoil of the earth.

Foxing to endleaves and to fore edge else clean and unblemished. <br /><br />In his eye-opening re-appraisal of Darwin's botanical books Oliver Sachs wrote that Darwin's botanical studies were "engines of war great missles of evidence lobbed at the skeptics of his theory of natural seledtion" The River of Consciousness. Sachs observes that the botanical studies are "even more overwhelming" than the author's magnum opus The Origin of Species in its presentation of natural seledtion as the basic fact of evolution. Sachs singles out this work The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species as particularly significant in that it explores the theme of co-evolution between two or more interdependent species such as elongated flowers developing together with insects capable of pollinating them with a long proboscus.

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was an immediate best-seller when it was first published in 1872 and still provides the point of departure for research into emotion and facial expression. In his study of infants and children including a delightfully objective study of his own baby's smiles and pouts of the insane of painting and sculpture of cats and dogs and monkeys and of the ways that people in different cultures express their feelings Darwin's insights have not been improved upon by modern science. This definitive edition contains a substantial new Introduction and Afterword by Paul Ekman. Ekman also provides commentaries that use the latest scientific knowledge to elaborate support and occasionally challenge Darwin's insights. -- with a bonus offer-- . Univ of Chicago Pr paperback
