rif. 478685Johns Hopkins University Press. Paperback. Good. The publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859 ignited a public storm he neither wanted nor enjoyed. Having offered his book as a contribution to science Darwin discovered to his dismay that it was received as an affront by many scientists and as a sacrilege by clergy and Christian citizens. To answer the criticism that his theory was a theory only and a wild one at that he published two volumes in 1868 to demonstrate that evolution was obvious to anyone who cared to look at a bull in a pasture or a dog on a hearth.;In response those who insisted that species were distinct since creation Darwin pointed to breeders of pigs and pigeons. In reply to those who protested that human intervention is one thing and natural selection another he argued If organic beings had not possessed an inherent tendency to vary man could have done nothing. To counter those who scorned his descriptions of species in exotic places he submitted local evidence of cabbages and cauliflower.;Based on a wide array of sources from skins and from skeletons from scientific journals and breeding manuals Darwin assembled a mass of proof - and a hypothesis about species reversion that risked his reputation anew. The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication is a two-volume compilation of his thorough and intensive research and the revolutionary conclusions that resulted. A wealth of illustrations support and enhance his findings. This fascinating and courageous undertaking eventually formed the foundation for our current understanding of evolution.

1963rif. 61618Erevan Hayastani Petakan Hratarakch'ut'yun 1963. Royal8vo. In publisher's full green cloth with gilt lettering to spine and front board. Light wear to extremities primarily affecting spine. Inner font hinge split otherwise a fine and clean copy. 591 1 pp. 2 plates. First printing of the exceedingly rare second Armenian translation of Darwin's landmark work. The first translation translated by S. Sargsyan was published in 1936 and both translations are of the upmost scarcity. Due to the relatively low number of people speaking Armenian approximately 3 million in Armenia and 7 million outside books in Armenian were printed in comparatively low numbers. This is one of the very few translations of "Origin of Species" of which Freeman has not listed the collation. This suggests that he never actually saw the copy but only read of it. Freeman 631.R.B.

1948rif. LCB60910Beograd: Prosveta. Izdavacko Preduzece Srbije. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1st Bosnian Edition. Original Quarter Cloth with Printed Boards. With plate & folding genealogical table. Lacks errata slip. Pages yellowed as normal for age. Covers slightly worn & somewhat stained to top right hand corner back cover. Some foxing on front cover.; GPTThe 1948 Bosnian edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" titled "Postanak vrsta pomocu prirodnog odabiranja ili Održavanje povladivanih rasa u borbi za život" marks a significant historical and cultural milestone as the first translation of this seminal work into Bosnian. This rare edition not only made Darwin's revolutionary ideas on evolution and natural selection accessible to a new audience but also did so in a period marked by post-war reconstruction and ideological shifts in the region. The translation encompasses Darwin’s original theories which propose that species evolve over time through natural selection where traits beneficial for survival and reproduction are preserved leading to gradual changes in the species. This Bosnian version is collectible not only because of its historical value but also due to its rarity and the context of its publication. Released shortly after World War II it reflects the era's hunger for scientific knowledge and the intellectual rebuilding that was taking place across Europe. As a collectible it holds immense value for historians collectors and scholars interested in the dissemination of scientific thought across different languages and cultures. This edition serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Darwin's work and the global appetite for scientific advancement bridging language barriers and cultural divides.
