A picture of this book is available upon request by email. With an introduction and accompanying explanations, the work consists mainly of excellent photographs of animals and relates directly to Darwin's work. Where Darwin only had a small number of illustrations in his famous work, Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, this one has many more and follows Darwin's original distinctions related to affection, joy, contentment, pain, anger, anxiety, astonishment and terror.
br. Ventidue anni di attesa e di reticenza. Dodici anni di rimaneggiamenti. "L'origine delle specie" di Darwin non fu soltanto un libro. Fu un romanzo di formazione, un travaglio teorico e umano, un cantiere aperto di idee e di ipotesi. La sua struttura argomentativa "alla rovescia" è peculiare e rivelatrice. Dalle sue pagine traspira la complessa logica della scoperta scientifica del naturalista inglese e il suo metodo misto, tra induttivismo e slanci ipotetico-deduttivi. In questo saggio il capolavoro darwiniano viene scomposto e ricomposto in un modo del tutto inedito, seguendo le sottili tracce delle revisioni apportate dall'autore alle sei edizioni successive dell'Opera, fino all'ultima del 1872. Un meticoloso lavoro di scavo storico e linguistico, con una sequenza analitica di citazioni tradotte ex novo dall'originale, che svela tutto il pluralismo teorico di Darwin, la sua attenzione verso le obiezioni degli avversari, la consapevolezza dei punti deboli, la forza delle evidenze e delle argomentazioni, e soprattutto le predizioni rischiose (alcune poi corroborate, altre smentite) che proiettarono la teoria dell'evoluzione nel futuro della ricerca biologica. Questo libro è al contempo una guida alla lettura e una proposta filosofica e storiografica, che permette di capire oggi il nocciolo teorico del neodarwinismo e l'agenda dei problemi ancora aperti in filosofia della biologia.

This is essentially a re-issue of Murray's 1890 edition (Freeman 28) with the postscript incorporated in the text, but preserving the gilt 'rhea' hunt on upper board and gilt '3/6' on backstrip first seen in the 1889 edition (Freeman 21). In addition Captain Fitzroy's name is reset as 'Fitz Roy' on title. Freeman (Darwin), 49.

With 32p publisher's catalogue (dated April 1886) bound in at end and the trade ticket of Beavis Stewart of Newcastle-on-Tyne on front paste-down. Quite apart from its scientific value, Darwin's first published text (1839) is an important travel work in its own right. This issue retains Darwin's separate Postscript, first seen in the tenth thousand of 1860 and from 1890 onwards incorporated in the text. Freeman (Darwin), 18.
8vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper, with coloured frontispiece, plates and endpaper maps; cream green pictorial cloth, gilt back, brown top, a near fine copy in publisher's board slip-case.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary fine dark green cloth bdg. Art-nouveau decorations embossed on boards. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script. 734, [2], [1] p., index. The Scopes trial (1925) fuelled discussion in the United States on the social and political implications of Darwinism. For the defenders of the 1925 Tennessee law - which prohibited the teaching of Darwinism in schools - Darwinism was, amongst other things, responsible for the German militarism which eventually led to the First World War. This view was supported by Ismail Fennî, a late Ottoman intellectual, who authored this book immediately after the trial which aimed to debunk scientific materialism. In it, he claimed that Darwinism blurred the distinction between man and beast and thus destroyed the foundations of morality. However, despite his anti-Darwinist stance, Ismail Fennî argued against laws forbidding the teaching of Darwinism in schools and emphasized that even false theories contributed to the scientific improvement. Indeed, because of his belief in science, he claimed that Muslims should not reject Darwinism if it were supported by future scientific evidence. It is composed of 7+1 chapters to criticize the materialist and positivist philosophical movements and especially the work of the positivist German philosopher Ludwig Bücher 'Kraft und Stoff'. The first part of the book focuses on the evidence presented of the proof of god in the Western and Islamic philosophies. In the second chapter, the issue of immortality of soul and spirit is addressed. In the third chapter, 'the wahdat al-wujud' (vahdet-i vücûd) current is examined. The fourth chapter, examined some famous scholars' thoughts about the matter, materialism, laws of nature, etc. In the fifth chapter, the work of the positivist German philosopher Büchner 'Kraft und Stoff', in the sixth chapter, monism (monism), in the seventh ch. positivism is criticized. In the last ch., there are descriptions and some thoughts on the theory of evolution and the Indian fakirs (fakers). Ismail Fenni Ertugrul was a Turkish mystic, philosopher, writer, musician, lyricist, and composer. He studied traditional madrasah education and learned Arabic and Persian. He was in various state posts. After the retirement, he began to be interested in poetry, music, and philosophy. Before his death, he donated his library including 9050 books to the Library of Beyazit. (Source: An Ottoman response to Darwinism: Ismail Fennî on Islam and evolution, Bilgili).
