From the Book Cover
This, the most interesting and helpful edition of Darwin's major work, is now available in an inexpensive paperback edition. It is written with a clarity, forcefulness, and conciseness not found in any subsequent revision. For modern reading and for reference, it is the standard edition of Darwin's greatest work.
America's foremost evolutionary biologist, Ernst Mayr, provides this edition with an introduction which places Darwin in his historical and philosophical context as no writer has done before. As Science notes, "few if any persons are so well qualified as Harvard's Ernst Mayr to execute so helpfully and gracefully the delicate task of writing a worthy foreword to such a classic."
