The Descent of Man - Charles Darwin

In The Descent of Man Darwin addresses many of the issues raised by his notorious Origin of Species: finding in the traits and instincts of animals the origins of the mental abilities of humans, of language, of our social structures and our moral capacities, he attempts to show that there is no clear dividing line between animals and humans. Most importantly, he accounts for what Victorians called the 'races' of mankind by means of what he calls sexual selection. This book presents a full explanation of Darwin's ideas about sexual selection, including his belief that many important characteristics of human beings and animals have emerged in response to competition for mates.This was a controversial work. Yet Darwin tried hard to avoid being branded as a radical revolutionary. He is steeped in Victorian sensibilities regarding gender and cultural differences: he sees human civilization as a move from barbarous savagery to modern gentlefolk, and women as more emotional and less intellectual than men, thus providing a biological basis for the social assumptions and prejudices of the day.The Descent of Man played a major role in the emergence of social Darwinism. This complete version of the first edition gives the modern reader an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with Darwin's proposals, launched in the midst of continuing controversy over On the Origin of Species. Janet Browne is the author of the prize-winning biography, Charles Darwin: Voyaging and Charles Darwin: The Power of Place.

The Origin of Species - Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin's classic that exploded into public controversy, revolutionized the course of science, and continues to transform our views of the world. Few other books have created such a lasting storm of controversy as The Origin of Species. Darwin's theory that species derive from other species by a gradual evolutionary process and that the average level of each species is heightened by the "survival of the fittest" stirred up popular debate to fever pitch. Its acceptance revolutionized the course of science. As Sir Julian Huxley, the noted biologist, points out in his illuminating introduction, the importance of Darwin's contribution to modern scientific knowledge is almost impossible to evaluate: "a truly great book, one which can still be read with profit by professional biologist." Includes an Introduction by Sir Julian Huxley

The Origin of Species - Charles Darwin

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.

On the Origin of Species - Charles Darwin

''can we doubt ... that individuals having any advantage, however slight, over others, would have the best chance of surviving and of procreating their kind?''In the Origin of Species (1859) Darwin challenged many of the most deeply held beliefs of the Western world. His insistence on the immense length of the past and on the abundance of life-forms, present and extinct, dislodged man from his central position in creation and called into question the role of the Creator. He showed that new species are achieved by natural selection, and that absence of plan is an inherent part of the evolutionary process.Darwin''s prodigious reading, experimentation, and observations on his travels fed into his great work, which draws on material from the Galapagos Islands to rural Staffordshire, from English back gardens to colonial encounters. The present edition provides a detailed and accessible discussion of his theories and adds an account of the immediate responses to the book on publication. The resistances as well as the enthusiasms of the first readers cast light on recent controversies, particularly concerning questions of design and descent. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

O pohlavním výběru - Charles Darwin - e-kniha

eBook: Kapitoly o pohlavním výběru tvoří součást Darwinovy knihy O původu člověka a pohlavním výběru. Jde o zcela klíčové dílo světového biologického písemnictví, které z nepochopitelných důvodů dosud chybělo na českém trhu (přeloženy byly jen kapitoly týkající se člověka). Co se týče obsahu, právě zde Darwin rozvíjí a vysvětluje svou teorii pohlavního výběru, který podle jeho přesvědčení hraje důležitou roli při utváření vnějšího vzhledu vyšších živých organismů. Po rozsáhlém úvodu do problematiky uvádí konkrétní případy pro jednotlivé živočišné skupiny, přičemž nejvíce pozornosti věnuje ptákům. Jde o dílo nabité zajímavými vědeckými poznatky a občas také úsměvnými pasážemi, přibližujícími čtenáři vědecké metody devatenáctého století.

Kniha - autor Petr Sís, 50 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Darwin celý život litoval, že neumí malovat. Zato uměl psát, a tak se Petr Sís nechal inspirovat zejména jeho sugestivními popisy. Z úžasně propracovaných obrázků, rozsáhlých úryvků z deníků, náčrtků a map dal dohromady brilantní úvod ke studiu Charlese Darwina a jeho evoluční teorie. Nejdříve vidíme malého Charlese jako školáka, který miloval přírodu, ale nedokázal vyhovět otcovým představám o jeho budoucím povolání. Pak jako mladého studenta medicíny, jenž se stále protiví otcovu úsilí naplánovat mu budoucnost. A poté přijde cesta kolem světa, která z něho udělá přírodovědce. Z této pětileté plavby na palubě lodě Beagle se vrátil do Anglie se zkušenostmi a materiály, jež se staly základem jeho celoživotní práce a odkazu. Nové vydání knihy, která v roce 2004 získala zlatou medaili Ragazzi Award na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni jako nejlepší non-fiction publikace pro děti na...

Výraz emocí u člověka a u zvířat - Charles Darwin

Kniha vydaná v roce 1872 představuje nejmladší z trojice hlavních Darwinových děl o evoluční teorii. Důraz je kladen na univerzální povahu výrazu emocí, což se projevuje podobnostmi mezi různými etniky i mezi zvířaty a lidmi. To naznačuje vrozený původ emocí. Darwin spojuje mentální stavy s koordinací pohybů, jak již naznačuje příbuznost slov „motiv“ a „emoce“. Rozdíl mezi lidmi a zvířaty mnohdy spočívá v tom, že u lidí se jedná o symbolické náznaky, které byly u jejich zvířecích předků míněny doslova (například pohrdání a hnus jsou spojeny s pohyby, jejichž původním cílem bylo vyhnout se odpornému zápachu). Darwin tímto způsobem pojednává o jednotlivých emocích typu pláč, zoufalství, veselá nálada, hloubání, hněv, pohrdání, vina, překvapení či stud a detailně popisuje, jak se projevuje jejich výraz. Jedná se zároveň o jednu z prvních publikací, která byla doprovozena fotografiemi. Kniha představuje Darwinův hlavní příspěvek dějinám psychologie 19. století a může být považována za čtenářsky přístupný úvod do Darwinova pojetí evoluce.

The Will of the Many - James Islington

At the elite Catenan Academy, where students are prepared as the future leaders of the Hierarchy empire, the curriculum reveals a layered set of mysteries which turn murderous in this new fantasy by bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy, James Islington. Vis, the adopted son of Magnus Quintus Ulcisor, a prominent senator within the Hierarchy, is trained to enter the famed Catenan Academy to help Ulciscor learn what the hidden agenda is of the remote island academy. Secretly, he also wants Vis to discover what happed to his brother who died at the academy.He’s sure the current Principalis of the academy, Quintus Veridius Julii, a political rival, knows much more than he’s revealing. The Academy’s vigorous syllabus is a challenge Vis is ably suited to meet, but it is the training in the use of Will, a practice that Vis finds abhorrent, that he must learn in order to excel at the Academy. Will—a concept that encompasses their energy, drive, focus, initiative, ambition, and vitality—can be voluntarily “ceded” to someone else.A single recipient can accept ceded Will from multiple people, growing in power towards superhuman levels. Within the hierarchy your level of Will, or legal rank, determines how you live or die. And there are those who are determined to destroy this hierarchal system, as well as those in the Academy who use it to gain dominance in internationally bestselling author James Islington’s wonderfully crafted new epic fantasy series.

The Children of Athena - Charles Freeman

A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome.In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians.Charles Freeman''s accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual ''interludes'' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author''s The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.

Mathematics of the Breath and the Way - Charles Bukowski

In The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way, Charles Bukowski considers the art of writing, and the art of living as writer. Bringing together a variety of previously uncollected stories, columns, reviews, introductions, and interviews, this book finds him approaching the dynamics of his chosen profession with cynical aplomb, deflating pretensions and tearing down idols armed with only a typewriter and a bottle of beer. From numerous tales of the author's adventures at poetry readings, parties, film sets, and bars, to an unprecedented gathering of Bukowski's singular literary criticism, the author discusses his writing practices and his influences. The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way is a perfect guide to the man behind the myth and the disciplined artist behind the boozing brawler.

Darwinův mýtus - Život a lži Charlese Darwina - Benjamin Wiker

Během těch 150 let od vydání knihy O vzniku druhů oscilovala pověst Charlese Darwina mezi dvěma extrémy – sekulárním světcem a kacířem. Pravda je však mnohem komplikovanější. Zatímco Darwin byl podle všeho laskavým a spravedlivým mužem, jeho teorie evoluce a přírodního výběru byla jednou z nejdestruktivnějších myšlenek v dějinách.Kdo je tedy Charles Darwin? V co skutečně věřil – a co jeho výzkum skutečně prokázal? Benjamin Wiker nás ve své knize Darwinův mýtus: Život a lži Charlese Darwina zbavuje mýtů a mylných představ a vše uvádí na pravou míru.Kniha Darwinův mýtus, poučná i názorná, stírá darwinistická politicky korektní pozlátka a předkládá kritickou, vědeckou analýzu Darwinova života i jeho velmi proměnlivé historie.

A young man and his young family set out on a perilous voyage across a devastated planet to uncover the origin of the events that set the world on its course to disaster ... The prescient, deeply shocking prequel to the bestselling, critically acclaimed Climate Emergency thriller, The Forcing. Kweku Ashworth is a child of the cataclysm, born on a sailboat to parents fleeing the devastation in search for a refuge in the Southern Ocean. Growing up in a world forever changed, his only connection to the events that set the planet on its course to disaster were the stories his step-father, long-dead, recorded in his manuscript, The Forcing. But there are huge gaps in the story that his mother, still alive but old and frail, steadfastly refuses to speak of, even thirty years later. When he discovers evidence that his mother has tried to cover up the truth, and then stumbles across an account by someone close to the men who forced the globe into a climate catastrophe, he knows that it is time to find out for himself. Determined to learn what really happened during his mother's escape from the concentration camp to which she and Kweku's father were banished, and their subsequent journey halfway around the world, Kweku and his young family set out on a perilous voyage across a devastated planet. What they find will challenge not only their faith in humanity, but their ability to stay alive. The Descent is the devastating, nerve-shattering prequel to the critically acclaimed thriller The Forcing, a story of survival, hope, and the power of the human spirit in a world torn apart by climate change.

The Many Lives of James Lovelock - Jonathan Watts

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of a fascinating, sometimes contradictory man.James Lovelock is best known as the father of Gaia Theory, the idea that life on Earth is a self-sustaining system in which organisms interact with their environments to maintain a habitable ecosystem.Lovelock''s life was a chronicle of twentieth-century science, and somehow he seemed to have a hand in much of it. During the Second World War he worked at the National Medical Research Institute, where his life-long interest in chemical tracing began. In the 1960s he worked at NASA. He worked for MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. He was a science advisor to the oil giant Shell, who he warned as early as 1966 that fossil fuels were causing serious harm to the environment. He invented the technology that found the hole in the Ozone layer. And all of this shaped Gaia Theory - a theory that could not have been developed without the collaboration of two important women in his life. Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most fascinating scientists of the modern age.

The Life and Lies of Charles Dickens - Helena Kelly

Think you already know the story of Charles Dickens' life? Think again. Almost everything you're familiar with was first mentioned in an authorised biography written by Dickens' close friend John Forster 150 years ago. It's the version of events that Dickens himself chose to make public, and newly accessible archives reveal that it's crammed with gaps, inconsistencies, and outright lies. There's the sister whose existence Dickens kept secret and the Jewish relations whose faith he strove to conceal. There's plagiarism, fraud, and suicide. And that's only for starters. Helena Kelly, author of the acclaimed Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, retells Dickens' story from his childhood to his deathbed, uncovers the truths he tried to keep hidden, and offers a fresh - and deeply troubling - perspective on the man who remains one of Britain's best-known novelists. You won't be able to look at him - or his work - in the same way again.
