Summary

Charles Darwin's revolutionary work "On the Origin of Species" was first published 150 years ago. The book's full title is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Darwin introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. His notes, taken on the second voyage of the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836, was the basis for his theory of evolution. Written 150 years ago, Darwin's book is still readable, even for the non-specialist. It was, and still is, controversial because it contradicts religious beliefs. While most editions of this book are over 450 pages, this complete reprint of Darwin´s theory is printed in less than 175 pages. Thanks to clever editing. And using smaller fonts... Making it easier for you to carry the book around. And it's saving a lot of the Earth's resources, hopefully contributing positively towards a better environment.
