The judicious choice of letters presented … reveal the truth of Darwin's statement, as his personality and trains of thought are revealed. His geniality, thoroughness and tenacity as he progressed as a scientist also shine through.

With a Foreword by Sir David Attenborough, this is a fascinating insight into Darwin's life as he first directly addressed the issues of humanity's place in nature, and the consequences of his ideas for religious belief. Incorporating previously unpublished material, this volume includes letters written by Darwin, and also those written to him by friends and scientific colleagues world-wide, by critics who tried to stamp out his ideas, and admirers who helped them to spread. They take up the story of Darwin's life in 1860, in the immediate aftermath of the publication of On the Origin of Species, and carry it through one of the most intense and productive decades of his career, to the eve of publication of Descent of Man in 1871.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword Sir David Attenborough\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Editor's note\u003cbr\u003e Symbols and abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Prologue\u003cbr\u003e 1860\u003cbr\u003e 1861\u003cbr\u003e 1862\u003cbr\u003e 1863\u003cbr\u003e 1864\u003cbr\u003e 1865\u003cbr\u003e 1866\u003cbr\u003e 1867\u003cbr\u003e 1868\u003cbr\u003e 1869\u003cbr\u003e 1870\u003cbr\u003e Biographical register\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography of biographical sources\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical note\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Evolution [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Evolution\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Evolution%20%5BPSAJ%5D%22\"\u003ePSAJ\u003c\/a\u003e], History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45978353664280,"sku":"9780521874120","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521874120i_f54f27d0-8409-4821-96c2-5d09ade20246.jpg?v=1691358712","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/evolution-selected-letters-of-charles-darwin-1860-1870-hardback-9780521874120","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
