Description

With an Introduction by Jeff Wallace.

ʻA grain in the balance will determine which individual shall live and which shall die...ʼ

Darwin's theory of natural selection posed a profound challenge to orthodox thought and beliefs: no being or species has been specifically created; all are engaged in a relentless struggle for survival, with extinction looming for those not suited for the task.

However, The Origin of Species (1859) is also a humane and inspiring vision of ecological interconnectedness, revealing the complex interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and - by implication - within the human world.

Written for the general reader, in a style that combines the rigor of science with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of the foundational texts of the modern age.
