Bücher von Charles Darwin

1885. With illustrations. A volume by Darwin the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. In 1861, Darwin took a break from writing his book on animal domestication and went on holiday with his daughter, Henrietta, to Torquay on the Devon coast. While there he spent many an hour examining the way insects pollinate orchids in the fields around the town. He noticed that only certain insects pollinate one particular orchid variety. When he returned to Down House he immediately switched from breeding pigeons to raising orchids. During the Victorian era, orchids were all the rage, and as soon as word got out that Darwin was raising them he found himself being flooded with specimens from all over the country. What he set out to do was study how orchids used intricate petal designs to attract bees and moths to their pollen. How did such a relationship evolve? The subject fascinated him and the results are to be found in this work.

Erste komplette Neuübersetzung seit 100 JahrenMit seinem am 24. November 1859 erstmals publizierten Werk »Der Ursprung der Arten« leitet Charles Darwin eine entscheidende Wende in der modernen Biologie ein. Diese brillante Neuübersetzung würdigt einen der bedeutendsten Naturwissenschaftler, dessen bahnbrechende Forschung unsere Sicht auf die Welt revolutioniert hat.Als Charles Darwin 1836 von seiner abenteuerlichen Weltreise mit der HMS Beagle zurückkehrt, glaubt er nicht länger an die Schöpfungslehre und die Unveränderlichkeit der Arten. Seine unterwegs gesammelten Beobachtungen und Erfahrungen lassen nur einen Schluss zu: Die Natur hat sich allmählich entwickelt; alle Lebewesen haben einen gemeinsamen Ursprung. Fortan arbeitet Darwin akribisch daran, seine Erkenntnisse in eine Theorie zu überführen. Als seine Überlegungen schließlich im Jahr 1859 unter dem Titel »On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection« zum ersten Mal erscheinen, ist das Buch sogleich vergriffen. Weit über die Wissenschaftskreise hinaus erfährt Darwin im Laufe der Zeit große Anerkennung für seine Studien zur Veränderlichkeit der Arten und der natürlichen Selektion, die ihn zum Begründer der Evolutionstheorie machen. Gleichzeitig stößt er immer wieder auf erbitterten Widerstand, gegen den er sich zur Wehr setzen muss. Die letzte von Darwin bearbeitete, sechste Auflage erschien im Jahr 1872 und liegt dieser Neuübersetzung zugrunde. Sie bietet dem Leser die Möglichkeit, Darwins epochales Werk, das bis heute Bestand hat, in seiner bestechenden Klarheit wiederzuentdecken.

Im Jahre 1831 geht das Vermessungsschiff Beagle mit dem jungen CharlesDarwin an Bord auf große Fahrt. Unentdeckte Länder gilt es zu erforschen,seltsame Tiere zu beobachten und die Bekanntschaft fremdartiger Menschenzu machen. Eine Reise, die nicht nur Darwins Leben beeinflussen,sondern das Verständnis des Menschen von sich selbst und seiner Weltentscheidend verändern wird. Wichtige Stationen sind dabei das Hinterland von Rio de Janeiro, Feuerland und die Galapagos-Inseln.

The Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. The contents of the book were severely backed by Darwinian evidence, which gave it its authenticity and is now considered a pioneering work in effect for the study of modern evolution theory. The survival of the fittest is a theory every person is familiar with, as it is often used as an expression in generic situations. Charles Darwin proposed a theory that contains his views on population size and the species in general. Some of the key features of this book are the building blocks of society. Some of these are as follows: each population size remains almost the same over time, species have to struggle in order to survive and individuals belonging to the same species differ significantly.The Origin of Species includes several examples and accounts that led to this Darwinian school of thought besides the theory itself.

Journal Of Researches Into The Natural History And Geology Of The Countries Visited During The Voyage Of H.M.S. Beagle Round The World : Under The Command Of Capt. Fitz Roy, R.N. (Volume Ii) has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published.
