«... Les plantes grimpantes peuvent tre divis es en quatre classes: premi rement, celles qui s'enroulent en h lice autour d'un support sans qu'aucun autre mouvement n'intervienne. Secondement, celles dou es d'organes sensibles qui, en touchant un objet, s'y cramponnent; ces organes consistent en feuilles, branches ou p doncules floraux modifi s. Mais ces deux classes arrivent parfois se confondre insensiblement jusqu' un certain point l'une avec l'autre. Les plantes de la troisi me classe grimpent simplement l'aide de crochets et celles de la quatri me par des radicelles: mais comme, dans ces deux derni res classes, les plantes ne pr sentent pas de mouvements sp ciaux, elles offrent peu d'int r t, et, en g n ral, quand je parle des plantes grimpantes, je fais allusion aux deux premi res classes...

A new, deluxe hardcover edition of one of the most important scientific works ever written In December 1831, Charles Darwin boarded the HMS Beagle, accompanying her crew on a five-year journey that crossed the Atlantic Ocean to survey the coasts of South America. As the expedition’s geologist and naturalist, Darwin collected evidence from the Galapagos Islands and other locations which prompted him to speculate that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection. In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, a work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. His revolutionary work presented evidence from the Beagle expedition as well as from years of subsequent research and experimentation. Written for non-specialists, Darwin’s book gained widespread interest from the scientific community, religious leaders, politicians and the general public. The theory Darwin presented in his book quickly became the subject of heated debate and discussion. Now accepted by the scientific community, Darwin’s concepts of evolutionary adaptation via natural selection are central to modern evolutionary theory and form the foundation of modern life sciences. Perhaps the most transformative scientific volume ever published, this volume of the first edition of On the Origin of Species: Outlines Darwin’s ideas, scientific influences and the core of his theoryDetails natural selection and address possible objections to the theoryExamines the fossil record and biogeography to support evolutionary adaptationFeatures a "Recapitulation and Conclusion" which reviews key concepts and considers the future relevance of Darwin’s theory On the Origin of Species: The Science Classic is an important addition to the bestselling Capstone Classics series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon. It includes an insightful Introduction from leading Darwin scholar Dr John van Wyhe of the University of Singapore, which presents new research and an offers an original perspective on Darwin and his famous work. This high-quality, hardcover volume is a must-have for readers interested in science and scientific literature, particularly evolutionary theory and life sciences.

"I myself am so convinced that the theory of evolution, especially to the extent to which it has been applied, will be one of the greatest jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity it has." -Malcolm Muggeridge"From a factual foundation, Charles Darwin persuasively extrapolates an erroneous explanation of life's diversity and complexity apart from God's handiwork.... Christians, using Scripture and science, should study this profoundly influential book thoroughly and cautiously." -From Dr. Wilson's IntroductionFew books have impacted the Western world so powerfully and irreversibly as Darwin's On the Origin of Species, yet a small number of people today actually read it. Darwin's slow and dry prose is hardly gripping, but Christians who want to pose an intelligent challenge to evolution need to read Darwin-and be able to explain him more competently than the evolutionists. When they do so, they will be surprised to learn that he foresaw many of the holes that have appeared in his theory since the voyage of the H. M. S. Beagle.
