The Origin of Species (Centaur Classics) #117049

The publication of Darwin’s "The Origin of Species" in 1859 marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought. The volume had taken Darwin more than twenty years to publish, in part because he envisioned the storm of controversy it was certain to unleash. Indeed, selling out its first edition on its first day, "The Origin of Species" revolutionized science, philosophy, and theology.
