This is the second volume of the complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin.

Charles Darwin is the English naturalist whose work laid the foundation for evolutionary biology and theory. Darwin wrote his autobiography under the title Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character in 1876. He wrote it for his family, but his son edited and published the autobiography five years after Darwin's death in 1882, removing some of the critical passages about God and Christianity.
The letters in Volume 9 provide another indispensable collection for those interested in Darwin's life, work, and world. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
This transcription of notes made by Charles Darwin during the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle records his observations of animals and plants, and provides valuable insights into the intellectual development of one of the most influential scientists of all time. Darwin drew on many of these notes for his well-known Journal of Researches (1839), but the majority of them have remained unpublished. This volume, which includes copies of his sketches and illustrations, provides numerous examples of his impeccable accuracy in describing the wide range of animals seen in the course of his travels, and of his analytical approach toward every one of his observations. Here are to be found the initial seeds of his theory of evolution, and of the fields of behavioral and ecological study of which he was one of the founding fathers.
Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) has been widely recognized since his own time as one of the most influential writers in the history of Western thought. His books were widely read by specialists and the general public, and his influence had been extended by almost continuous public debate over the past 150 years. New York University Press's new paperback edition makes it possible to review Darwin's public literary output as a whole, plus his scientific journal articles, his private notebooks, and his correspondence. This is complete edition contains all of Darwin's published books, featuring definitive texts recording original pagination with Darwin's indexes retained. The set also features a general introduction and index, and introductions to each volume.
