CHARLES DARWIN, página 5 de 16

"The Origin of Species" is one of the most important and influential books of its time and remains one of the most significant contributions to philosophical and scientific thought. This book presents an introduction and scholarly references by William Bynum.

In "The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants," Charles Darwin meticulously examines the fascinating world of climbing plants, elucidating their unique climbing mechanisms through detailed observations and experiments. Employing a methodical yet accessible literary style, Darwin blends rigorous scientific inquiry with descriptive narrative, situating his findings within the broader context of botanical studies of the 19th century. This work not only highlights the adaptive strategies of these plants but also introduces concepts that would later contribute to his theories of natural selection, showcasing a scientific lineage that intertwines observation and hypothesis. Charles Darwin, renowned for his groundbreaking theories in evolutionary biology, was compelled by a profound curiosity about nature and its myriad forms. His careful observations during his voyage on the Beagle, coupled with his role in the burgeoning field of botany, provided a fertile ground for insights into the peculiar behaviors of climbing plants. His keen attention to detail and desire to understand the complexities of life undoubtedly fueled his exploration in this text, presenting a pivotal case study of plant adaptation and behavior. "The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants" is highly recommended for readers interested in natural history, botany, and the origins of evolutionary thought. Darwins pioneering work serves not only as a valuable scientific resource but also as an engaging narrative that invites contemplation of the intricate relationships between plants and their environments.

Principal aportación de Charles Darwin (1809-1882) a los estudios interdisciplinarios en que convergen la psicología y la biología, La expresión de las emociones en los animales y en el hombre es una pieza clave dentro de su obra. Si bien el declive de la psicologia comparada a comienzos del siglo XX resto momentaneamente influencia a sus aportaciones conceptuales, el auge de la moderna etologia ha contribuido al redescubrimiento de este texto capital para la biologia de la conducta.

This work was described, on its first appearance, by a writer in the Quarterly Review as "One of the most interesting narratives of voyaging that it has fallen to our lot to take up, and one which must always occupy a distinguished place in the history of scientific navigation.This prophecy has been amply verified by experience; the extraordinary minuteness and accuracy of Mr. Darwins observations, combined with the charm and simplicity of his descriptions, have ensured the popularity of this book with all classes of readersand that popularity has even increased in recent years. No attempt, however, has hitherto been made to produce an illustrated edition of this valuable work: numberless places and objects are mentioned and described, but the difficulty of obtaining authentic and original representations of them drawn for the purpose has never been overcome until now.Most of the views given in this work are from sketches made on the spot by Mr. Pritchett, with Mr. Darwins book by his side. Some few of the others are taken from engravings which Mr. Darwin had himself selected for their interest as illustrating his voyage, and which have been kindly lent by his son.Mr. Pritchetts name is well known in connection with the voyages of the Sunbeam and Wanderer, and it is believed that the illustrations, which have been chosen and verified with the utmost care and pains, will greatly add to the value and interest of the "VOYAGE OF A NATURALIST."

The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published in 1871, which applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection, a form of biological adaptation distinct from, yet interconnected with, natural selection. The book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the dominant role of women in mate choice, and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society.

Contains the text of the sixth edition - the last edition published during Darwin's lifetime and the last to include his own amendments.

A new, deluxe hardcover edition of one of the most important scientific works ever writtenIn 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

la presente obra, Plantas Insectívoras, fue el fruto de 15 años de arduo trabajo que comenzó como una “pasión de verano” y terminó verificando la existencia de plantas adaptadas a una dieta carnívora

Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species, in which he writes of his theories of evolution by natural selection, is one of the most important works of scientific study ever published.
