The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
With his great work, On the Origin of Species, the nineteenth-century naturalist, Charles Darwin, changed the thinking of the world forever after.
Challenging the idea of "creation," he asserted that living forms follow a system of natural laws just as surely as do the tides and the sunsets. He assembled a great mass of evidence to prove that organic evolution really does take place; but even more important, he offered his theory, natural selection, as a reasonable means by which this process might come about. Today, scientists accept evolution as a basic fact of biology, and they recognize natural selection as the central agent in its working. Moreover, Charles Darwin is recognized as one of the all-time champions of free scientific thought.
