Dear EcoEd,

I'm going to be teaching a first-year seminar next fall, and I'm  
having the students read "The Origin of Species." There seem to be  
dozens of editions out there, and I have to specify one for our  
campus store to buy. Anybody have any favorites? I have an ancient  
dog-eared paperback, but it's not with me and I can't remember the  
publisher or edition. All other things being equal, cost should be  
low, of course. Also, how about "The Voyage of the Beagle?" I'm  
slightly leaning toward having them read that, too, in which case I'd  
probably pick "From So Simple a Beginning: Darwin's Four Great Books  
(Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, The  
Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals)" by Charles Darwin and  
Edward O. Wilson, which is only $27.
