In science, philosophy, and theology, this is a book that changed the world.In addition to its status as the focus of a dramatic turning point in scien...

England’s country houses have for centuries been where the rich and grand families have displayed their wealth and status. Today, England is still well endowed with these houses, although many of them are now popular visitor attractions instead of private homes, but there are also many houses that have disappeared over the years. Some have been demolished as they could no longer be sustained due to the changes in social habits, surrounding development, or because of the cost of repairs or ...

Darwin's revolutionary offering of the theory of evolution is captured here, in one of the most important (and, to some, controversial) biological texts of all time. His theory can be distilled to two simple points: that diverse groups of animals evolve from one or a few common ancestors, and the mechanism by which this evolution takes place is natural selection. From the Galapagos Islands to Ancient Egypt to one's own back yard, Darwin points to case after case of evolutionary theory in a...

Published in 1859, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species became known as ''The Book that Shook the World''. Its first edition sold out on the first day, and the same happened with six subsequent versions. To this day, the naturalist's theory of evolution is controversial. According to Darwin, species compete for survival, and those that survive give rise to the next generation, which in turn incorporates favorable natural variations and passes them on hereditarily. Until his death, Darwin...
