While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure. For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a \"translation\" for contemporary English readers. A monument to reasoned insight, the Origin illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning. By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin, this edition aims to bring 21st-century readers into closer contact with Darwin's revolutionary ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Olivia Judson\u003cbr\u003eA Note to the Reader\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eOn the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859) by Charles Darwin\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Variation under Domestication\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Variation in Nature\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The Struggle for Existence\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Natural Selection\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Variation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Difficulties with the Theory\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Instinct\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Hybrids\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: The Imperfection of the Geological Record\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: The Succession of Organisms in the Geological Record\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: The Geographical Distribution of Life\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Geographical Distribution of Life, Continued\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Affinities between Organisms; Morphology, Embryology, and Rudimentary Organs\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Summary and Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Further Reading\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702483382552,"sku":"9780253011701","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/darwins-on-the-origin-of-species-a-modern-rendition-paperback-softback-9780253011701","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
