[Ecoed] Favorite "Origin" Edition?

[BARBARA.ABRAHAM at HAMPTONU.EDU]

All,

 

I don't have a favorite edition of The Origin of Species, but I highly
recommend The Voyage of the Beagle.  Also the film, Inherit the Wind,
about the Scopes trial.

Subject: [Ecoed] Favorite "Origin" Edition?

 

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.
