Page ridge soiled. 1985 Hard Cover. xxix 702 pp. Family tree on endpapers. This volume inaugurates a complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The first volume of the edition contains the letters of the years 1821 - 1836. They begin with one written to Darwin at the age of twelve and continue through his school days at Shrewsbury his two years as a medical student at Edinburgh the undergraduate years at Cambridge and his five years of exploration and learning during the voyage of the Beagle. These were Darwin's years of initiation and preparation for a life of science. In the earliest letters Darwin appears already keenly interested in natural history and an avid collector of minerals plants marine invertebrates and insects - especially beetles. The letters of the succeeding years tell the story of the young Darwin's development up to his return to England when at the age of twenty-seven he was received as a colleague by Charles Lyell Adam Sedgwick and other leading scientists who had already heard of his discoveries and observations during the Beagle voyage.

When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831 Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal here reprinted in a shortened form shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology natural history people places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the theory of evolution and the most controversial book of the Victorian age: The Origin of Species. This volume reprints Charles Darwin's journal in a shortened form. In their introduction Janet Brown and Michael Neve provide a background to Darwin's thought and work and this edition also includes notes maps appendices and an essay on scientific geology and the Bible by Robert FitzRoy Darwin's friend and Captain of the Beagle. - Amazon synopsis.

2023ill., br. Basandosi su anni di studio di materiali d'archivio, editi e inediti, Desmond e Moore ricostruiscono in questo volume il percorso umano, filosofico e scientifico dell'autore dell'"Origine delle specie", descrivendo al contempo l'ambiente familiare, il contesto storico e la maturazione scientifica del grande naturalista inglese. Scopriamo così un uomo tormentato e prudente, ma anche lucidamente consapevole dell'importanza epocale della propria teoria, quell'evoluzione per selezione naturale che oggi è riconosciuta come una delle teorie scientifiche più audaci, durature e dirompenti del mondo moderno.

2020ill., br. Secondo la visione comunemente accettata della selezione naturale, perché un carattere si evolva è necessario che sia adattativo, che aumenti cioè la probabilità di sopravvivenza dell'individuo. Con uno scarto audace rispetto all'ortodossia dominante, Richard Prum ipotizza invece in questo libro che alcuni tratti, soprattutto quelli coinvolti nel corteggiamento, siano frutto di scelte arbitrarie: una specie manifesterebbe una preferenza per un certo carattere giudicato bello, e in base a quella preferenza uno dei due sessi (in genere quello femminile) effettuerebbe la scelta del partner. La prole della coppia erediterebbe così non solo il carattere ritenuto attraente, ma anche la preferenza. In effetti nell'Origine dell'uomo Darwin aveva delineato una visione puramente estetica della selezione sessuale: ma i tempi non erano maturi, e per i suoi colleghi dell'epoca vittoriana l'idea che le preferenze femminili - l'«immorale capriccio femminile», come veniva allora chiamato - potessero rappresentare una pressione selettiva determinante era inconcepibile. Centocinquanta anni dopo, con indiscutibile autorevolezza, Prum conferisce nuova vita alla teoria rivoluzionaria di Darwin, ma si spinge oltre: spaziando tra biologia evolutiva, filosofia e sociologia, riscrive la teoria dell'evoluzione (che si tratti dell'evoluzione delle penne del pavone o di quella dell'orgasmo femminile), riscatta il ruolo della bellezza e del desiderio, e ci offre una nuova, affascinante storia naturale incentrata sull'arbitrio femminile e il senso del bello contrapposti alla legge della lotta e al dominio del più forte.
