Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproduced from the 1883 edition (which was revised from its original publication in 1868), this was Darwin's follow-up to his On the Origin of Species, written in response to criticisms that his theory of evolution was unsubstantiated. Darwin here supports his views via analysis of various aspects of plant and animal life, including an inventory of varieties and their physical and behavioral characteristics, and an investigation of the impact of a species' surrounding environment and the effect of both natural and forced changes in this environment. Volume 2 contains the index for both volumes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book excerpt: The Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia of the National Academy of Sciences address scientific topics of broad and current interest, cutting across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Each year, four or five such colloquia are scheduled, typically two days in length and international in scope. Colloquia are organized by a member of the Academy, often with the assistance of an organizing committee, and feature presentations by leading scientists in the field and discussions with a hundred or more researchers with an interest in the topic. Colloquia presentations are recorded and posted on the National Academy of Sciences Sackler colloquia website and published on CD-ROM. These Colloquia are made possible by a generous gift from Mrs. Jill Sackler, in memory of her husband, Arthur M. Sackler.

This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" by Charles Darwin is a seminal work that continues Darwin's exploration of the impact of artificial selection on the evolution of plants and animals. In this second volume, Darwin delves deeper into the principles of domestication, providing detailed observations and analysis. He examines the diverse ways in which humans have influenced the characteristics of domesticated species through selective breeding, drawing connections between the variation observed in nature and that which occurs under controlled human intervention. Darwin's meticulous study covers a wide range of topics, including the inheritance of acquired traits, the effects of domestication on fertility, and the role of hybridization in producing novel forms. Through a combination of empirical evidence and theoretical insights, Darwin contributes significantly to the understanding of the mechanisms that drive variability in domesticated organisms. "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" remains an essential resource for those interested in the foundations of evolutionary biology, providing a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between humans and the species they have shaped through centuries of selective breeding.

Download or read book Unnatural Selection written by Katrina van Grouw and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated look at how evolution plays out in selective breeding Unnatural Selection is a stunningly illustrated book about selective breeding--the ongoing transformation of animals at the hand of man. More important, it's a book about selective breeding on a far, far grander scale—a scale that encompasses all life on Earth. We'd call it evolution. A unique fusion of art, science, and history, this book celebrates the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's monumental work The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, and is intended as a tribute to what Darwin might have achieved had he possessed that elusive missing piece to the evolutionary puzzle—the knowledge of how individual traits are passed from one generation to the next. With the benefit of a century and a half of hindsight, Katrina van Grouw explains evolution by building on the analogy that Darwin himself used—comparing the selective breeding process with natural selection in the wild, and, like Darwin, featuring a multitude of fascinating examples. This is more than just a book about pets and livestock, however. The revelation of Unnatural Selection is that identical traits can occur in all animals, wild and domesticated, and both are governed by the same evolutionary principles. As van Grouw shows, animals are plastic things, constantly changing. In wild animals the changes are usually too slow to see—species appear to stay the same. When it comes to domesticated animals, however, change happens fast, making them the perfect model of evolution in action. Suitable for the lay reader and student, as well as the more seasoned biologist, and featuring more than four hundred breathtaking illustrations of living animals, skeletons, and historical specimens, Unnatural Selection will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in natural history and the history of evolutionary thinking.

This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, Vol. I. by Charles Darwin The object of this work is not to describe all the many races of animals which have been domesticated by man, and of the plants which have been cultivated by him; even if I possessed the requisite knowledge, so gigantic an undertaking would be here superfluous. It is my intention to give under the head of each species only such facts as I have been able to collect or observe, showing the amount and nature of the changes which animals and plants have undergone whilst under man's dominion, or which bear on the general principles of variation. In one case alone, namely in that of the domestic pigeon, I will describe fully all the chief races, their history, the amount and nature of their differences, and the probable steps by which they have been formed. I have selected this case, because, as we shall hereafter see, the materials are better than in any other; and one case fully described will in fact illustrate all others. But I shall also describe domesticated rabbits, fowls, and ducks, with considerable fullness. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
