187593115Paris, C. Reinwald, 1875, in-8, [4]-VIII-552 pp, 22-[1] pp. de cat. éd, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Quelques figures dans le texte. Édition originale de la traduction française du Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries paru en 1839. Il s'agit du premier ouvrage de Darwin et le plus lu, après l'Origine des espèces. Il forme une relation de voyage importante en soi et par son rapport avec les idées de l'auteur sur l'évolution. La seconde édition anglaise, parue en 1845, a servi de base pour les diverses traductions. La version française, par Edmond Barbier (le troisième traducteur de l'Origine des espèces) est tardive : elle paraît plus de 30 ans après l'originale anglaise. Darwin voyage à bord du Beagle de 1831 à 1836, ce qui lui permet de faire un grand nombre d'observations géologiques. Il récolte des organismes vivants ou fossiles, et conserve une riche collection de spécimens, dont il envoie certains spécimens à Cambridge, accompagnés de lettres sur ses découvertes. Selon ses propres mots, ce voyage "a été de loin l'événement le plus important de [sa] vie et a déterminé toute [sa] carrière" (Charles Darwin, Autobiographie). Non rogné. Étiquette ex-libris du Comte de Saint-Périer : René de Saint-Périer (1877-1950), archéologue et préhistorien français, qui fit les fouilles de la grotte de Lespugue Fente dans toute la longueur du plat supérieur. Rousseurs claires. O'Reilly, Tahiti, 916. Couverture rigide

2005150463Philadelphia: Running Press 2005. First edition of this compilation of Charles Darwin's most influential works in their entirety contained for the first time in one volume. Thick octavo original boards. Boldly signed by James Watson on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Text includes commentary by Nobel laureate James Watson. Included in this volume are four of the most influential works of Charles Darwin reprinted in their entirety each with commentary from Nobel Prize-winning scientist James D. Watson. Included are On the Origin of Species arguably the most important scientific work of the nineteenth century; Voyage of the Beagle a captivating travelogue richly stocked with observations that helped guide the young Darwin through his evolutionary world view; The Descent of Man which explored the origins of humans and their history; and The Expressions of Emotions in Man and Animals which explored the origin and nature of the mind. With his separate introductions for each of Darwin's books he goes further to explain how the modern considerations underlying genome research would have been impossible without Darwin bringing a contemporary relevance to these nineteenth century masterworks.
