Charles Darwin

On the Origin of Species

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Oct. 14, 2017)

Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought and belief: no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task.

Yet The Origin of Species is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and - by implication - within the human world.

Written for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigor of science with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.
