Synopsis If the extensive writings of Charles Darwin were subjected to the process of natural selection which he first enunciated, this volume might be the ultimate result. Editor James Secord has here compiled the most essential chapters from Darwin's myriad works, including ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES, THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE, and THE DESCENT OF MAN, as well as Darwin's autobiography in its entirety, along with a compendium of more recent reactions to Darwin's theories. The result works as both an indispensable introduction to Darwin's life and ideas for novice readers, and a terrific condensed reference for those already familiar with his larger body of work.
