With the goal of making Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species accessible to high school and college students, as well as other readers, Dr. Jan Pechenik presents the revised, reorganized, clarified, and language-modernized edition of the sixth and final edition of Darwin’s book published in 1872. He includes those issues that Darwin was uncertain about and/or mistaken, as time and science revealed. Pechenik, emphasizing that this volume is still Darwin’s, has eliminated unnecessary words, weak verbs, incorporated definitions into sentences, and used repetition, summary, and appropriate punctuation to link thought and improve the flow of ideas. He also created one-paragraph previews of each chapter and added many illustrations absent from the original book. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
