A stunning graphic adaptation of one of the most famous, contested, and
important books of all time.
Few books have been as controversial or as historically significant as
Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,
or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life. Since the
moment it was released on November 24, 1859, Darwin's masterwork has
been heralded for changing the course of science and condemned for its
implied challenges to religion.
In Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, author Michael Keller and
illustrator Nicolle Rager Fuller introduce a new generation of readers
to the original text. Including sections about his pioneering research,
the book's initial public reception, his correspondence with other
leading scientists, as well as the most recent breakthroughs in
evolutionary theory, this riveting, beautifully rendered adaptation
breathes new life into Darwin's seminal and still polarizing work.
