Charles Darwin: an anthology.

Edison: Transaction Publishers, 2009.
Octavo, paperback, 470 pp. line drawings.

This one-volume edition of Darwin's writings covers the heart of the five books for which the author is best known. This readable volume includes The Autobiography, The Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of the Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of the Emotion. The volume also includes parts of Darwin's less well-known works. A new introduction by the noted anthropologist Lionel Tiger underlines the continuing importance of Darwin's thinking, and explains why it still influences contemporary scholarship in many fields. These selections have not been rewritten - they are pure Darwin. The dull and the unessential have been eliminated. What remains is material that best illustrates Darwin's most important and interesting ideas. This volume also includes a critical bibliography that will prove valuable to those interested in further reading.
