Beschreibung
Darwin's The Origin of Species is essential reading for anyone interested in biology, evolution, the natural world, or the history of scientific thought. However, Darwin's references and writing style make the book difficult for contemporary readers to follow. The Readable Darwin translates the sixth and final edition of The Origin of Species (1872) into clear, engaging prose. Whereas the first edition of The Readable Darwin includes the first eight chapters of Darwin's book, this new edition presents all fifteen chapters of The Origin of Species and features over 100 illustrations.
