Explains the continuing importance of Darwin's thinking, and explains why it still influences contemporary scholarship in many fields. This book presents fundamentals of Darwin's revolutionary thought.

Although his name has become a household word after he published Th e Origin of Species, a one-volume edition of his writings that covers the full gamut of his theoretical as well as scientific writings has not been available for many years. Charles Darwin: An Anthology, 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 Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of the Emotions.
