" ~Charles Darwin. Here for the first time in one volume, are four of the most influential works by Charles Darwin: On the Origin of Species, arguably the most important scientific work of the nineteenth century. The Voyage of the Beagle, a captivating travelogue richly stocked with observations that helped guide the young Darwin through his evolutionary world view. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, which explored the origin and nature of the mind. The Drscent of Man, which explored the Origins of humans and their history. With this comprehensive anthology, readers can trace the develepment of Darwin's own thinking as he challenged conventional wisdom, unveiled fundamental laws of nature, and documented the outstanding power and creativity that drives evolution. Each book in the anthology is illuminated by commentary from Nobel Laureate James D. Watson. In his introductory essay, Watson reveals the inexorable link between Darwin's "indelibe stamp" and its modern representation within the DNA studies pioneered by Dr. Watson himself. Watson, in his separate introductions for each of Darwin's books, explains how the modern considerations underlying genome research would have been impossible without Darwin, bringing contemporary relevance to these nineteenth~century masterworks. This is a fascinating anthology, one sure to be of interest to anyone with an interest in the history of science.…
