<div>With a foreword by Margaret Mead: Darwin examines genetically determined behavior, combining the science of evolution with insights into human psychology.Published in 1872, thirteen years after On the Origin of Species, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is devoted to documenting what Darwin believes is the genetically determined aspects of behavior. Together with The Descent of Man (1871), it sketches out Darwin&rsquo;s main thesis of human origins. Here he traces the animal origins of human characteristics such as pursing of the lips in concentration, tightening of the muscles around the eyes in anger and efforts of memory. Darwin&rsquo;s thesis is that if the outward signs of behavior and emotions are shown to be universal in man and similar to animals then they must be due to inherited evolutionary adaptation, not culturally acquired characteristics. Several British psychiatrists, in particular James Crichton-Browne, were consultants for the book, which forms Darwin&rsquo;s main contribution to psychology. Darwin&rsquo;s collection of detailed observations along with his acute observational abilities and pictures (a landmark in the history of illustrations within the body of the text) corroborate his thesis and form the basis of the book. The foreword by Margaret Mead is of great interest in and of itself. Her foreword, illustrated with pictures provided by her, is designed to subvert Darwin&rsquo;s chief idea. Paul Ekman, a later editor of this same work, &ldquo;wonder[s] how Darwin would have felt had he known that his book was introduced by a cultural relativist who had included in his book pictures of those most opposed to his theory.&rdquo;</div>

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals

<div>Darwin&rsquo;s most famous work formed the bedrock of evolutionary biology In one of the most important contributions to scientific knowledge, Charles Darwin puts forth the theory that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection. When he first established this hypothesis, many ideas about evolution had already been proposed and were receiving public acclaim, but none could fully explain the course of human evolution as elegantly as Darwin&rsquo;s did. Drawn from extensive research performed on various creatures living in the Gal&aacute;pagos Islands, his research suggests that &ldquo;one species does change into another.&rdquo; This revolutionary notion has become a landmark of scientific theory.

On the Origin of Species

<div>The riveting firsthand account of the historic voyage that led to the theory of evolution When the HMS Beagle set sail in 1831, the science of biology was not far removed from the Dark Ages. When the ship returned to England nearly five years later, Charles Darwin had the makings of a theory that would revolutionize our understanding of the natural world. From volcanoes in the Galapagos to the coral reefs of Australia, The Voyage of the Beagle documents the young naturalist&rsquo;s encounters with some of the earth&rsquo;s most stunning features. Darwin&rsquo;s observations of the people, places, and events he experienced make for compelling reading and offer a fascinating window into the intellectual development of his ideas about natural selection. A brilliant travelogue and a revealing glimpse into the Victorian mindset, The Voyage of the Beagle is an indispensable companion volume to On the Origin of Species.

The Voyage of the Beagle

<div>This edition of Darwin&rsquo;s life story restores previously censored passages on religion and the scientist&rsquo;s opinions of his contemporaries. Darwin wrote his autobiography in 1876, at the age of sixty-seven, hoping it would prove interesting to his children and grandchildren. Preparing the book for a wider audience, his family initially sought to protect his legacy by removing passages they found too personal or controversial. This restored edition, which appeared one hundred years after the publication of On the Origin of Species, was edited by Darwin&rsquo;s own granddaughter Nora Barlow, who wished to share the text as it originally existed in her family&rsquo;s archives. Shedding light on the women in Darwin&rsquo;s life and his evolving views on religion, The Autobiography of Charles Darwin delves deep into his brilliant yet shy and reclusive personality, from his childhood love of nature to the reception of his groundbreaking theories on evolution. It also includes previously unpublished notes and letters on family matters, as well as Darwin&rsquo;s dispute with Samuel Butler.</div>

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin

<div>These three major works by the father of evolutionary theory encompass his life, journey through the Galapagos, and landmark work on natural selection. On the Origin of Species: In one of the most important contributions to scientific knowledge, Charles Darwin puts forth the theory that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection. Drawn from extensive research performed on various creatures living in the Gal&aacute;pagos Islands, his research suggests that &ldquo;one species does change into another&rdquo;&mdash;a revolutionary notion that has shaped much of modern biology. The Autobiography of Charles Darwin: Darwin wrote his autobiography as a family document in 1876. When it was originally published posthumously, certain portions were considered too personal or controversial and were removed. This edition restores those passages, shedding light on the women in Darwin&rsquo;s life and his evolving views on religion. It also includes previously unpublished notes and letters on family matters, as well as Darwin&rsquo;s dispute with Samuel Butler. The Voyage of the Beagle: From volcanoes in the Gal&aacute;pagos to the coral reefs of Australia, this travelogue documents the young naturalist&rsquo;s historic, years-long journey at sea. Darwin&rsquo;s observations of the people, places, and events he experienced make for compelling reading and offer a fascinating window into the intellectual development of his ideas about natural selection.</div>
