Instant Origin: Second Edition

by Gene Kritsky (Editor)

Overview

Darwin's On the Origin of Species stands as a cornerstone of modern biology. Unfortunately, many readers of this important work have difficulty in understanding its significance due to the nature of Darwin's writing and the mass of detailed evidence included in the work. This new illustrated second edition of Instant Origin is designed to help the reader follow Darwin's argument by focusing on the major points and important evidence. It also illustrates why Darwin's ideas still hold such sway in biology and why Darwin is considered biology's Einstein. If you have tried to read the Origin and given up, then Instant Origin should be your next attempt to understand the elegance of Darwin's work.
