The Voyage of the Beagle is the title most commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks bringing him considerable fame and respect. This was the third volume of The Narrative of the Voyages of H.M. Ships Adventure and Beagle the other volumes of which were written or edited by the commanders of the ships. Journal and Remarks covers Darwin's part in the second survey expedition of the ship HMS Beagle. Due to the popularity of Darwin's account the publisher reissued it later in 1839 as Darwin's Journal of Researches and the revised second edition published in 1845 used this title. A republication of the book in 1905 introduced the title The Voyage of the "Beagle" by which it is now best known. Beagle sailed from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of Captain Robert FitzRoy. While the expedition was originally planned to last two years it lasted almost five - Beagle did not return until 2 October 1836. Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land three years and three months on land; 18 months at sea. The book is a vivid travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology geology and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring and charting the whole world. Although Darwin revisited some areas during the expedition for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to places and locations rather than by date. Darwin's notes made during the voyage include comments hinting at his changing views on the fixity of species. On his return he wrote the book based on these notes at a time when he was first developing his theories of evolution through common descent and natural selection. The book includes some suggestions of his ideas particularly in the second edition of 1845. The Folio Society hardcover books
1997réf. S12976Knoxville:: University of Tennessee Press 1997. 1997. 8vo. xxi 184 pp. Frontis. index. Tan gilt-stamped cloth dust-jacket. Fine. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the title. Tracing the growth of creationism in America as a political movement this book explains why the particularly American phenomenon of anti-evolution has succeeded as a popular belief. Conceptualizing the history of creationism as a strategic public relations campaign Edward Caudill examines why this movement has captured the imagination of the American public from the explosive Scopes trial of 1925 to today's heated battles over public school curricula. Caudill shows how creationists have appealed to cultural values such as individual rights and admiration of the rebel spirit thus spinning creationism as a viable even preferable alternative to evolution. / In particular Caudill argues that the current anti-evolution campaign follows a template created by Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan the Scopes trial's primary combatants. Their celebrity status and dexterity with the press prefigured the Moral Majority's 1980s media blitz more recent staunchly creationist politicians such as Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee and creationists' savvy use of the Internet and museums to publicize their cause. Drawing from trial transcripts media sources films and archival documents Intelligently Designed highlights the importance of historical myth in popular culture religion and politics and situates this nearly century-old debate in American cultural history. publisher. / Edward Caudill is a professor of journalism and electronic media at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

George Howard Darwin was the fifth child of Charles Robert Darwin and Emma Wedgwood. George Darwin graduated from Trinity College Cambridge in 1868. In 1883 Darwin was elected Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge. Darwin delved deeply into the problems of the origin and evolution of the solar system making numerous investigations of the figures of equilibrium for rotating masses of fluid. A further application of Darwin's theory of tidal friction to the motion of the planets round the sun opened up the wider question of the genesis of the solar system.

While working on Descent of Man Darwin became interested in emotional expression across species. In animals he believed expressions were a part of their purposeful action and not connected to emotion. Humans however were very emotional. He examines reactions and expressions in human subjects to different stimuli like "low spirits" of grief and anxiety and "high spirits" like love. Though for Darwin the most intriguing and peculiar reaction to emotion was blushing. So much so that he dedicates an entire chapter to it and comes to the conclusion "It appears that the mental powers of infants are not as yet sufficiently developed to allow of their blushing. Hence also it is that idiots rarely blush." Freeman 1141 & 1142 Norman 600; Garrison-Morton 4975. John Murray unknown books
1870réf. 266381870. Our first Darwin signed photograph in all these years Charles Darwin English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern biology and evolutionary studies. Darwin's explanation for the great unfolding of life through time - evolution by natural selection - transformed our understanding of the living world and focused attention on the cumulative inherited change in a population of organisms through time leading to the appearance of new forms: the process by which new species or populations of living things develop from preexisting forms through successive generations. Darwin revolutionized the understanding of the development of living things as Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the physical universe. An attractive Carte de Visite signed ""Ch. Darwin” circa late 1870s very good condition though with a few small adhesive tape marks. The photograph was taken by Elliott & Fry 56 Baker Street London and has their front and back stamps. For a century after its founding in 1863 the firm’s core business was taking and publishing photographs of the Victorian public and social artistic scientific and political luminaries. Among the notables known to have sat for a photograph by Elliott & Fry were Prime Minister William Gladstone Alfred Lord Tennyson W.S. Gilbert Rudyard Kipling Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Florence Nightingale and Charles Darwin. In all our years in the field we have seen just a handful of Darwin signed photographs and have never ourselves had one. This is indeed a rarity. But the provenance is just as fascinating as finding a signed Darwin photograph with provenance is perhaps unique. William Bateson was a British biologist who founded and named the science of genetics and whose experiments provided evidence basic to the modern understanding of heredity. He was a dedicated evolutionist and his early works on the mechanisms of biological evolution were strongly influenced by Charles Darwin though he believed that Darwin’s theory of evolution required a firmer base in heredity. Bateson also became the foremost champion of Gregor Mendel’s work on genetics. Darwin died in 1882 when Bateson was at college and though Bateson may have written Darwin such letter is unknown. Bateson and his wife did however correspond with Darwin’s family in later years as “Darwin Online” indicates. This CDV comes with an autograph letter signed from Darwin’s granddaughter Margaret Keynes dated January 23 1929 addressed to Sir George Buckston Browne proposing an alternative date for her and her husband Dr. Geoffrey Keynes to come for lunch expressing gladness that Browne wanted ""the Bateson letter and the other things"" and acknowledging that he attended the same school as Dr. Keynes. Browne had bought Darwin's old home so lunch there would have been a homecoming of sorts for Margaret. Finding the CDV and letter together we would conjecture that this CDV was the property - one of “the other things” - of Margaret that she mentioned in the letter that she was glad Browne wanted and had descended in the family to her along with the Bateson letter. Thus this CDV was apparently property of the Darwin family the most important provenance imaginable. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown books
1871réf. 013873London: Published by the author printed by Spottiswoode & Co 1871. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Nobleman author's vanity binding of his ant-Darwin treatise with complimentary ALS from Darwin's publisher John Murray PM Gladstone Napoleon III Times publisher John Walter and 37 others bound-in. 8vo custom contemporary binding likely commissioned by the Baron himself in polished grey full leather gilt ruled covers front hinge recently repaired 137 pages of text followed by 41 ALS bound-in and in the rear 6 pages one-sided of a pasted-in newspaper review of the book from an unidentified publication. The review observes that Sir Walsh "found it necessary in drawing a parallel between astronomy and geology to allude to Darwin and Buckle Lord Ornathwaite makes their theories the subject of severe criticism." The ALS's bound-in are from peers and public figures variously complimenting Sir Walsh on his work many agreeing with the intellectual aspersions that Sir Walsh heaps on Darwin. Gladstone admits to not being particularly familiar with Darwin's work but posits nevertheless that evolutionary theory tears away at the "fabric of belief". But it is John Murray Darwin's own publisher who is shameless in criticizing the most famous author he will have published: "Although I happen to publish the works both of Buckle & Darwin I do not hesitate to myself a sceptic in the theories of both & I hope one day to see these fallacies exploded & should not be sorry to aid in this result." Most of the letters are on baronial estate or residential letterhead and bound-in chronologically from the end of 1871 through July 1872.
