Charles Darwin stands as a towering figure in the history of science, who changed the direction of modern thought by establishing the basis of evolutionary biology. This selection of his letters, incorporating previously unpublished material, includes letters written by Darwin and also those written to him by friends and scientific colleagues around the world, by the critics who tried to stamp out his ideas, and by admirers who helped them to spread. They take up the story of Darwin's life in 1860, in the immediate aftermath of the publication of On the Origin of Species, and carry it through one of the most intense and productive decades of his career, to the eve of publication of Descent of Man in 1871. These fascinating letters provide insight into Darwin's life as he first directly addressed the issues of humanity's place in nature, and the consequences of his ideas for religious belief.
