The Correspondance Of Charles Darwin - 1858-1859 vol 7

Informationen zum Autor Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882) was born in Shropshire, England. His first text chronicling his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle, which included his notable visit to the Galapagos Islands, earned him success as an author in 1839. His observations from the Galapagos, alongside an interest in natural history from an early age and studies over the consequent years, informed the development of his biological theories, culminating the ground-breaking text 'On the Origin of Species' for which he is best known. Klappentext Covers the momentous period up to and immediately following publication of On The Origin of Species. Zusammenfassung The letters in this volume cover two of the most momentous years in Darwin's life. They detail the various stages in the preparation of what was to become one of the world's most famous works: Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection! published by John Murray in November 1859.
