Paperback, [EAN: 9780217809146], General Books, General Books, Book, [PU: General Books], General Books, 'Are they needed? To be sure. The Darwinian industry, industrious though it is, has failed to provide texts of more than a handful of Darwin's books. If you want to know what Darwin said about barnacles (still an essential reference to cirripedists, apart from any historical importance) you are forced to search shelves, or wait while someone does it for you; some have been in print for a century; various reprints have appeared and since vanished' - Eric Korn, "Times Literary Supplement". Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) has been widely recognized since his own time as one of the most influential writers in the history of Western thought. His books were widely read by specialists and the general public, and his influence had been extended by almost continuous public debate over the past 150 years. New York University Press' new paperback edition makes it possible to review Darwin's public literary output as a whole, plus his scientific journal articles, his private notebooks, and his correspondence. This is complete edition contains all of Darwin's published books, featuring definitive texts recording original pagination with Darwin's indexes retained. The set also features a general introduction and index, and introductions to each volume., 772198, General, 65, History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 124978031, General AAS, 65, History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 125241031, General AAS, 922170, Evolution, 277912, Biological Sciences, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 125231031, General AAS, 277912, Biological Sciences, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 125228031, General AAS, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 564336, Agriculture & Farming, 564338, Astronomy & Cosmology, 564340, Biology, 564342, Chemistry, 564344, Earth Sciences, 564346, Engineering, 570820, Environment, 564350, Geology, 564352, Mathematics, 564356, Medicine & Nursing, 564354, Physics, 564348, Research & Development, 564358, Veterinary Science, 125359031, General AAS, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 400530011, English, 400529011, Language (feature_browse-bin), 365481011, Refinements, 266239, Books, 492564011, Paperback, 492562011, Format (binding_browse-bin), 365481011, Refinements, 266239, Books, 182018031, Regular Size, 182016031, Font Size (format_browse-bin), 365481011, Refinements, 266239, Books<

REMINISCENCES OF MY FATHERS EVERYDAY LIFE. It is my wish in the present chapter to give some idea of my father''s everyday life. It has seemed to mo that I might carry out this object in the form of a rough sketch of a day''s life at Down, interspersed with such recollections as are called up by tho record. Many of these recollections, which have a meaning for those who knew my father, will seem colourless or trifling to strangers. Nevertheless, I give them in the hope that they may help to preserve that impression of his personality which remains on the minds of those who knew and loved him--an impression at once so vivid and so untranslatable into words. . From the Century Magixtine, January 1883. Of his personal appearance (in these days of multiplied photographs) it is hardly necessary to say much. He was about sis feet in height, but scarcely looked so tall, as he stooped a good deal; in later days ho yielded to the stoop; but I can remember seeing him long ago swinging back his arms to open out his chest, and holding himself upright with a jerk. He gave one the idea that he had been active rather than strong; his shoulders were not broad for his height, though certainly not narrow. As a young man he must have had much endurance, for on one of the shore excursions from the Beagle, when all were suffering from want of water, he was one of the two who were better able than the rest to struggle on in search of it. As a boy he was active, and could jump a bar placed at the height of the Adam''s apple in his neck. He walked with a swinging action, using a stick heavily shod with iron, which he struck loudly against the ground, producing as he went round the Sand-walk at Down, a rhythmical click which is with all of us a very distinct remembrance. As he returned from the midda...

Although his name has become a household word after he published The Origin of the Species, a one-volume edition of his writings that covers the full gamut of his theoretical as well as scientific writings has not been available for many years. Charles Darwin: An Anthology, covers the heart of the five books for which the author is best known. This readable volume includes The Autobiography, The Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of the Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of Although his name has become a household word after he published The Origin of the Species, a one-volume edition of his writings that covers the full gamut of his theoretical as well as scientific writings has not been available for many years. Charles Darwin: An Anthology, covers the heart of the five books for which the author is best known. This readable volume includes The Autobiography, The Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of the Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of the Emotion. The volume also includes parts of Darwin's less well-known works. Although it was published last chronologically, The Autobiography is an ideal beginning to the volume. A new introduction by the noted anthropologist Lionel Tiger underlines the continuing importance of Darwin's thinking, and explains why it still influences contemporary scholarship in many fields. These selections have not been rewritten-they are pure Darwin. The dull and the unessential have been eliminated. What remains is material that best illustrates Darwin's most important and interesting ideas. The selection manages as well to retain his most readable prose, while presenting the fundamentals of Darwin's revolutionary thought. Collectively, the volume paints a picture of an immensely curious and indefatigable mind. This volume also includes a critical bibliography that will prove valuable to those interested in further reading.
