Overview
This beautiful hardback guide introduces young readers to the ground-breaking ideas presented in Charles Darwin's masterwork, On the Origin of Species, told with accessible text and full-color illustrations.
Every once in a while, an idea comes along that is so radical, so surprising, that it completely transforms the way that we look at the world. Such was Charles Darwin's foundational scientific theory - evolution by natural selection - as laid out in his famous work On the Origin of Species. This remarkable theory is unpacked for a new generation of inquisitive young readers, with complex ideas cleverly explained in clear, easy-to-follow language.
• Explore Darwin's life story, his voyage of discovery onboard the HMS Beagle to the Galápagos Islands, and the series of revelations that led to his great discovery.
• Uncover the world in which Darwin lived, how his ideas were received, and how they influenced later thinkers.
• Discover the things Darwin got wrong, and what we know about evolution today.
By following the story of Darwin's discoveries, readers can delve into core biological principles such as genetics, habitats, ecosystems, and adaptation, making it a wonderful resource for home learning.
Lavishly illustrated throughout by Juanita Londoño-Gaviria, with beautifully designed endpapers, this inspiring book supports home learning and is a wonderful introduction to the theory of evolution for curious minds aged 8+.
