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 Galápagos Islands, his research suggests that
“one species does change into another”—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’s life and his evolving views on religion. It also includes
previously unpublished notes and letters on family matters, as well as
Darwin’s dispute with Samuel Butler. The Voyage of the Beagle:
From volcanoes in the Galápagos to the coral reefs of Australia, this
travelogue documents the young naturalist’s historic, years-long
journey at sea. Darwin’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.
