Sobre este artículo
Albemarle Street, London: John Murray, 1890. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 2nd Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 7 5/8" x 4 7/8", viii, 394 pp, viii, 394 pages, 21 text figures, 7 Heliotype plates, placed as directed. Charles Darwin had collected material with a view to a new edition; following his death, Francis Darwin, his son, used this material, consisting of a mass of letters, extracts from and references to books, pamphlets and reviews, to revise and enlarge this second edition. Hb, bound in the original dark green cloth, blind rulings to upper and lower board, gilt titling to spine, dark olive green endpapers. Plates are tissue-guarded. Boards are in very good condition, just a little rubbing to the publishers name and gilt decoration at lower spine, and just very slightly rubbed at corners; front hinges are weak, but holding, inevitably having separated front endpapers along the spine, rear hinges are tight. Slight surface loss to front endpapers towards upper edge. Early pencil notes - 'latest edn with plates' and booksellers' prices on the pages preceding the title-page. Very occasional light foxing on early pages, pencil marginal lines in a couple of places. Generally a very good copy, with a nice original binding. .
Sinopsis
The most popular of Darwin's books during his lifetime, in a beautifully illustrated new edition Featuring dozens of color photographs from Darwin's original publication, this edition-issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth-makes this classic study newly accessible to modern readers. Published in 1872, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was a book at the very heart of Darwin's research interests. Darwin's main goal was to demonstrate the power of his theories for explaining the origin of our most cherished human qualities, morality and intellect. The work engages some of the hardest questions in the evolution debate, and it shows the ever-cautious Darwin at his boldest.
