ril. A ben oltre un secolo dalla sua morte, le idee di Charles Darwin sono ancora in grado di ispirare scoperte scientifiche, ma di suscitare anche accesi e violenti dibattiti, quasi sempre di natura ideologica. Ma chi era veramente Darwin? E, soprattutto, in quale contesto storico- culturale nacque e maturò la sua rivoluzionaria teoria dell'evoluzione delle specie per selezione naturale? È proprio a queste domande che dà risposta la biografia di Janet Browne, restituendo un'immagine quanto mai vivida e a tutto tondo di Darwin. Una biografia definitiva dell'uomo e dello scienziato, che dipana l'enigma centrale della sua carriera, ovvero come questo tipico gentiluomo inglese di provincia finì per diventare un pensatore capace di sfidare i principi fondamentali della scienza e della religione. Janet Browne racconta ogni minimo dettaglio della vita di Darwin: dall'infanzia alla formazione, dall'avventurosa storia del viaggio intorno al mondo sul Beagle (1831-1836) alla pubblicazione dell'Origine delle specie (1859), il suo capolavoro, e dell'Origine dell'uomo (1871). Sullo sfondo dell'Inghilterra vittoriana, da questa completa e suggestiva biografia Darwin emerge come un genio tranquillo e riservato, come uno scienziato consumato da un'impellente necessità di comprendere la complessità delle forme viventi attraverso un costante lavoro di osservazione e di sperimentazione.

In-8 (cm. 20.70), brossura, pp. 334, (2), con illustrazioni in bianco e nero fuori testo. Prima edizione italiana. In buono stato (good copy).
In-16 (cm. 18,70), brossura illustrata, pp. XX, 927, (5), con illustrazioni in bianco e nero fuori testo. In ottimo stato (nice copy). Basandosi su anni di studio di materiali d'archivio, editi e inediti, Desmond e Moore ricostruiscono in questo volume il percorso umano, filosofico e scientifico dell'autore dell'"Origine delle specie", descrivendo al contempo l'ambiente familiare, il contesto storico e la maturazione scientifica del grande naturalista inglese. Scopriamo così un uomo tormentato e prudente, ma anche lucidamente consapevole dell'importanza epocale della propria teoria, quell'evoluzione per selezione naturale che oggi è riconosciuta come una delle teorie scientifiche più audaci, durature e dirompenti del mondo moderno.

pp. 396, 8 [Publisher's catalogue]. Very XLib. Some signatures loose. 12mo. Original full cloth binding. Spine worn with loss. Hardbound. Asa Gray (1810-1888) is considered the most important American botanist of the 19th century. Gray and Charles Darwin met at Kew, introduced by Joseph Dalton Hooker. Darwin then wrote to Gray requesting information about the distribution of various species of American flowers, which Gray provided, and which was helpful in providing information for the development of Darwin's theory. This was the beginning of an extensive lifelong correspondence. This original 1878 edition is rather scarce. It is a shame that it is only a fair copy. SCIENCE BX 2
