Descent of Man, and Selection in relation to Sex
London, Murray, 1877 Green guilt cloth, 693 + 39 pages, 19.5 x 12.5 cm, English text. Second edition, twelfth thousand. *good condition, first page top of page teared, no damage to text. .
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published in 1871, which applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection, a form of biological adaptation distinct from, yet interconnected with, natural selection. Darwin used the word "descent" to mean lineal descendant of ancestors. The book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, evolutionary musicology, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the dominant role of women in mate choice, and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society.
different forms of flowers on plants of the same species
London, John Murray, 1880 Green cloth guilt, xvi,352,32 pages, 19.5 x 13 cm, English. Second edition of 1250 copies only. *fair condition, spine slighly damaged on top and bottom and tape residue on page three, otherwise good.
Much of the content of this had previously been published in the Journal of the Linnean Society of London and elsewhere. Had Darwin not chosen such genetically complex examples, he might have approached more nearly to an understanding of the laws of particulate inheritance. Like Cross and self fertilisation, it was too technical a work to command a large sale, and only about 2,000 copies were sold in Darwin's lifetime, and perhaps 4,000 before the end of the century. The first edition, of 1,250 copies, was issued on July 9, 1877, in a standard case, at a cost of 10s. 6d. It has thirty-two pages of inserted advertisements which are dated January or March. The second, again of 1,250 copies, appeared in July 1880 with a new preface which surveys the recent literature, and in which Darwin states that 'the text has been left as it originally appeared excepting that a few errors have been corrected'. This is then the definitive text, but in the third thousand of 1884 Francis Darwin added another preface which again brings the literature up to date.
formation of vegetable mould, through the action of worms, with observations on their habits.
London, Murray, 1888 Green guilt cloth, unopened, 328 + 38 pages, 19.5 x 13.5 cm, English. *very good condition.
The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits (sometimes shortened to Worms) is an 1881 book by Charles Darwin on earthworms.[1] It was his last scientific book, and was published shortly before his death (see Darwin from Insectivorous Plants to Worms). Exploring earthworm behaviour and ecology, it continued the theme common throughout his work that gradual changes over long periods of time can lead to large and sometimes surprising consequences. It was the first significant work on soil bioturbation, although that term was not used by Darwin (it first appeared in the soil and geomorphic literature one hundred years later).
On the Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs; also Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands and Parts of South America Visited during the Voyage of HMS Beagle.
London, New York and Melbourne, Ward, Lock, and Co, 1890 Blue/green cloth with guilt titles, 549 pages, 6 maps and numerous illustrations. *very good condition.
The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs, Being the first part of the geology of the voyage of the Beagle, under the command of Capt. Fitzroy, R.N. during the years 1832 to 1836, was published in 1842 as Charles Darwin's first monograph, and set out his theory of the formation of coral reefs and atolls. He conceived of the idea during the voyage of the Beagle while still in South America, before he had seen a coral island, and wrote it out as HMS Beagle crossed the Pacific Ocean, completing his draft by November 1835. At the time there was great scientific interest in the way that coral reefs formed, and Captain Robert FitzRoy's orders from the Admiralty included the investigation of an atoll as an important scientific aim of the voyage. FitzRoy chose to survey the Keeling Islands in the Indian Ocean. The results supported Darwin's theory that the various types of coral reefs and atolls could be explained by uplift and subsidence of vast areas of the Earth's crust under the oceans.
Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
London, Murray, 1888 Two volumes, grey cloth with guilt titles, 365 + 393 pages, slight foxing to some pages, good condition otherwise. .

Expression Of The Emotions In Man And Animals
London, Murray, 1904 Green guilt cloth, viii, 397, [1 (blank)] pages + [1 (advertisements)] + [1 (blank)] pages + 21 figures on 16 plate leaves + black-and-white photographic illustrations of human expressions on 7 plate leaves. 20.5 x 14 cm. English. Good condition.
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory, following On the Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871). Initially intended as a chapter in Descent of Man, Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. Darwin explores the biological aspects of emotional behaviour and the animal origins of human characteristics like smiling and frowning, shrugging shoulders, the lifting of eyebrows in surprise, and the baring of teeth in an angry sneer.
