While even the grandest works of Victorian English can prove difficult to modern readers, Darwin wrote his text in haste and under intense pressure. For an era in which Darwin is more talked about than read, Daniel Duzdevich offers a clear, modern English rendering of Darwin's first edition. Neither an abridgement nor a summary, this version might best be described as a translation for contemporary English readers. A monument to reasoned insight, the <i>Origin</i> illustrates the value of extensive reflection, carefully gathered evidence, and sound scientific reasoning. By removing the linguistic barriers to understanding and appreciating the <i>Origin</i>, this edition aims to bring 21st-century readers into closer contact with Darwin's revolutionary ideas.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>[This] modernized version provided by Daniel Duzdevich, a doctoral student of biology at Columbia University, doesn't meddle with Darwin's theories or basic exposition and so his edited <i>Origin </i>remains a weighty trek, but he has made the way a lot smoother.</p>-- "Foreword Reviews"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Daniel Duzdevich is a biologist, studying the interactions between proteins and DNA.
