OVERVIEW:
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist, eminent as a collector and geologist, who proposed and provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process of natural selection. Darwin’s discovery remains the foundation of biology, as it provides a unifying logical explanation for the diversity of life.
This collection includes 17 most significant works complemented by author biography, contemporary analysis and selected quotes. These books are readable by a non-specialist. They attract widespread interest today as they did 150 years ago.
