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. In modified form Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences explaining the diversity of life. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history. He was honored by burial in Westminster Abbey.<br/><br/>The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex was first published in 1871. It applies evolutionary theory to human evolution and details Darwin's theory of sexual selection a form of biological adaptation distinct from yet interconnected with natural selection. The book discusses many related issues including evolutionary psychology evolutionary ethics differences between human races differences between sexes the dominant role of women in mate choice and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society. <br/><br/>Fritz Kredel 1900-1973 was a German later American artist and graphic designer. In his early years he studied under Rudolf Koch at Offenbach School of Art and Design and developed skills in woodcuts. Koch and Kredel collaborated on A Book of Signs 1923 and The Book of Flowers 1930. Following Koch's death in 1934 Kredel moved to Frankfurt but in 1938 he fled Germany for political reasons with help from Melbert Cary. After emigrating to the United States that year he taught at Cooper Union in New York and continued to work as an artist. He produced illustrations for over 400 books in German and English and received many awards and honors. Many of his originals are now housed at the Art Library at Yale University.<br/><br/>Limited Editions Club Bibliography 435.

367831 pp. 8vo bound in attractive green morocco-backed cloth over boards. Cambridge: "Printed for Distribution among the Members of the Cambridge Philosophical Society" 1 December 1835. First edition of Darwin's first separately printed work and of the greatest rarity. This unauthorized pamphlet contains extracts from ten letters written to John Stevens Henslow 1796-1861 by Darwin during his five-year voyage on the Beagle. Henslow had been Darwin's botany professor at Cambridge and their friendship "was one of the most influential circumstances in his Darwin's early life."-ODNB. It was Henslow who obtained for him the post of naturalist on the Beagle. Darwin's letters were published without his knowledge; Henslow had read some of them before the Cambridge Philosophical Society and was responsible for printing this small pamphlet of extracts. The present work did introduce Darwin's name and some important observations to a small but influential group of scientists and when he arrived back in England in the autumn of 1836 he carried with him something of a reputation as a geologist. Fine copy preserved in a green morocco-backed box. From the library of Robert Crewe-Milnes 1st Marquess of Crewe 1858-1945 British statesman and author note on pastedown stating that the book was purchased by Maggs Bros. from the Crewe library. Accompanied by the 1960 privately printed facsimile. ❧ Freeman 1. hardcover books
194865225London: Collins 1948. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. With Illustrations by Elinor Darwin. London: Collins 1948. First edition. The grandson of British naturalist Charles Darwin Bernard Darwin 1876-1961 was an accomplished amateur golfer who covered the sport for The Times from 1907 to 1953 and for Country Life from 1907 to 1961 becoming the first writer ever to cover golf on a daily basis rather than as an occasional feature. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005. In the twenty-nine essays in this collection Darwin elaborates on such varied topics as his boyhood attachment to tin soldiers his "fundamentalist's" faith in Sherlockiana his affection for small railroad junctions situated thrillingly close to some favorite golf links the "restful excitement" of watching a cricket match and the pleasures of a day spent in bed. Signed by Darwin on the title page. Octavo. Original gray cloth binding with gilt titles. The spine is touch sun faded. Some light edgewear to the dust jacket with a bit of mild foxing to the rear panel and flap; otherwise very good. Collins hardcover books
