Book excerpt: Cette sixième édition a été traduite par Edmond Barbier après la mort de Moulinié. Les éditions Reinwald firent appel à lui pour traduire la sixième édition anglaise que Darwin donnait comme la version définitive.L'Origine des espèces (anglais: On the Origin of Species) est un ouvrage scientifique de Charles Darwin, publié le 24 novembre 1859 pour sa première édition anglaise. Cet ouvrage est considéré comme le texte fondateur de la théorie de l'évolution. Dans ce livre, Darwin présente la théorie scientifique de l'évolution des espèces vivantes à partir d'autres espèces généralement éteintes, au moyen de la sélection naturelle. Darwin avance un ensemble de preuves montrant que les espèces n'ont pas été créées indépendamment et ne sont pas immuables.Diverses idées évolutionnistes avaient déjà été proposées pour expliquer les nouvelles découvertes en biologie. Il y avait un soutien croissant à de telles idées parmi les dissidents anatomistes et le grand public, mais au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle l'establishment scientifique anglais était étroitement lié à l'Église d'Angleterre. La science faisait partie de la théologie naturelle et n'était alors pas indépendante des dogmes chrétiens. Les idées sur la transmutation des espèces étaient controversées, entrant en conflit avec les croyances que les espèces étaient immuables et faisaient partie d'une hiérarchie conçue par Dieu et que les humains étaient uniques, sans rapport avec d'autres animaux. Les implications politiques et théologiques étaient intensément débattues, mais la transmutation n'était pas acceptée par le grand public scientifique au moment de la publication de L'origine des espèces.Cet ouvrage, accessible au grand public et non pas uniquement aux spécialistes, eut un retentissement énorme et fit l'objet d'intenses débats.Durant l'éclipse du darwinisme des années 1880 à 1930, différents autres mécanismes d'évolution furent mis en avant. Avec le développement de la synthèse évolutionniste dans les années 1930 et 1940 la conception darwinienne de l'adaptation évolutionniste au moyen de la sélection naturelle devint centrale dans la théorie moderne de l'évolution. C'est désormais le principe unifiant des sciences de la vie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insectivorous Plants: By Charles Darwin - Illustrated by Charles Darwin Insectivorous Plants is a book by British naturalist and evolutionary theory pioneer Charles Darwin, first published on 2 July 1875 in London. Part of a series of works by Darwin related to his theory of natural selection, the book is a study of carnivorous plants with specific attention paid to the adaptations that allow them to live in difficult conditions. It includes illustrations by Darwin himself, along with drawings by his sons George and Francis Darwin. The book chronicles Darwin's experiments with various carnivorous plants, in which he carefully studied their feeding mechanisms. Darwin tried several methods to stimulate the plants into activating their trap mechanisms, including feeding them meat and glass, blowing on them and prodding them with hair. He found that only the movement of an animal would cause the plants to react, and concluded that this was an evolutionary adaptation to conserve energy for prey and to ignore stimuli that were not likely to be nutritious. He also discovered that while some plants have distinct trap-like structures, others produce sticky fluids to ensnare their prey and concluded that this was an example of natural selection pressure resulting in various methods for food capture.The first edition had a reported printing of 3,000 copies. It was translated into several languages during Darwin's lifetime, including German. A second English-language edition was published in 1889 after Darwin's death. It was edited with additions and footnotes by Francis Darwin. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated The Power of Movement in Plants by Charles Darwin The Power of Movement in Plants is a book by Charles Darwin on phototropism and other types of movement in plants. This book continues his work in producing evidence for his theory of natural selection. As it was one of his last books, followed only by the publication of The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, he was assisted by his son Francis in conducting the necessary experiments and preparing the manuscript. The Power of Movement in Plants was published 6 November 1880, and 1500 copies were quickly sold by publisher John Murray. This book stands at the culmination of a long line of study in plants and is immediately preceded by 'The different forms of flowers on Plants of the same species' (1877). (See Bibliography for additional publications on plants.) These studies on plants were first evidenced in 'On the various contrivances by which British and foreign orchids are fertilised by insects' (1862), the publication that immediately followed On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection. He co-authored this study with his son Francis Darwin (who specialised in botany) and his devotee, George Romanes, who assisted in editing the work. The work was begun in earnest late in 1877, after his work on climbing plants (1875) and insectivorous plants (1875) stimulated his interest in the subject. At times, Darwin despaired of ever finishing the work, as the book outgrew his original expectations: "I have written a rather big book-more is the pity-on the movements of plants, and I am now just beginning to go over the MS. for the second time, which is a horrid bore." As the book neared completion, he summarised its underlying viewpoint: "My MS. relates to the movements of plants, and I think that I have succeeded in showing that all the more important great classes of movements are due to the modification of a kind of movement common to all parts of all plants from their earliest youth." The work concerns itself with how plants respond to external stimuli and examines these processes in individual plants to gain understanding of some general principles governing their growth and life. This continues Darwin's work of elucidating how natural selection works and specifically how plants have adapted to differing environments whilst at the same time answering some objections of his day that evolution could not account for changes in behavioural responses. In his conclusions, Darwin presents the key features of plants from an evolutionary perspective indicating that gradual modification of these processes in response to natural selective forces like light and water could enable extensive ability to adapt.
