DESCRIPTION:
Praise for Charles Darwin “Charles Darwin had a big idea, arguably the most powerful idea ever. And like all the best ideas it is beguilingly simple.” —Richard Dawkins “Darwin was not only great in his time, but if anything he is even greater today.” —TheTimes Literary Supplement
Amazon Customer said This Kindle edition stinks-- no pictures. This free Kindle edition stinks-- no pictures. Darwin refers to the illustrations in the text, but they are not there. Get the Kindle Version With Images from Gutenberg.org instead, which otherwise is the same text, right down to the page numbers which are included just as text on their own line (and that's where footnotes are included too.). Texas Bill said Great book. This book really shows how much the world has changed in the last few hundred years, in the way people had to exploit animals to survive.Humans actions have changed the environment as much as evolution.. Daniel Myers said Charles Darwin-Naturalist, Poet, Adventurer. I learned a lot about Darwin in this book that I simply didn't know beforehand. The most important is what an exceptional writer he was. If he had never published his Origin of Species and become famous by it, this book would still be a classic, if not of science, than certainly of literature. His prose, while necessarily more pedestrian, reminds me
I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition.. This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader
