On the Origin of Species
In the Origin of Species (1859) Darwin challenged many of the most deeply heldbeliefs of the Western world, dislodging man from his central position in creationand calling into question the role of the Creator. This revised edition presents the textin light of the most recent scholarship. In her introduction, Gillian Beer considersin detail the first reactions to the work and Darwin's responses and appraises thecontroversy in the light of the recent revival of Creationism and Intelligent Design.
