"Perhaps no one has influenced our knowledge of life on Earth as much as English naturalist Charles Darwin. His theory of evolution by natural selection, now the unifying theory of life sciences, explained where all of the astonishly diverse kinds of living things came from and how they became exquisitely adapted to their particular environments" (Wyhe). The present set was the first one to be authorized by Darwin himself, bringing together his most important scientific contributions into one beautiful and functional reference library. Near Fine.
