With an Introduction by Jeff Wallace. 'A grain in the balance will
determine which individual shall live and which shall die...'.
Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to
orthodox thought and belief: no being or species has been specifically
created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with
extinction looming for those not fitted for the task.
Yet The
Origin of Species (1859) is also a humane and inspirational vision of
ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual
interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical
environment, and - by implication - within the human world. Written
for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigour of science
with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of
the founding documents of the modern age.
