Description

Book Synopsis
By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the Origin, this book aims to bring 21st-century readers into closer contact with Charles Darwin's revolutionary ideas.

Trade Review

[This] modernized version provided by Daniel Duzdevich, a doctoral student of biology at Columbia University, doesn't meddle with Darwin's theories or basic exposition and so his edited Origin remains a weighty trek, but he has made the way a lot smoother.
