Very large and heavy book which will require additional shipping. In the book that changed our view of life on earth Charles Darwin challenged the place of the human race at the centre of creation and started a scientific revolution.

Grayling's insightful introduction and Darwin expert William Bynum's inspired selection of 40 pages of plates illuminate the text that of the first edition from 1859.

Overall a solid copy of Darwin's "forgotten masterpiece" with very well-preserved plates. Freeman 1142. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals expands on Darwin's theories raised in On the Origin of Species 1859 and The Descent of Man 1871 arguing that there is an evolutionary explanation for the human expression of emotions. The book was originally intended by Darwin to be a chapter in The Descent of Man but grew until it was necessary to publish the work separately. An influential text in the field of psychology the book has also been described as "a pivotal turning point in the history of book illustration right up there with Alice in Wonderland" The Atlantic. With seven plates of heliotypes that represent various human emotions The Expression of the Emotions was one of the first scientific books to include photographs. These photographs were provided by a handful of photographers and researchers including Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne Adolph Kindermann George Charles Wallich James Crichton-Browne and Oscar Rejlander. Rejlander contributed nineteen of the thirty photographs in the book including the crying baby photo later dubbed "Ginx's baby" which became incredibly popular in its time. Interestingly Darwin's research for the book prompted him to circulate one of the first scientific questionnaires which he used to gauge people's ability to identify a handful of core emotions. .
