Amazon.com description: Product Description: La teoria de la evolucion mediante la seleccion natural, una de las ideas mas revolucionarias y trascendentales jamas concebidas por la mente humana, cambio para siempre la vision del lugar que ocupa el hombre en el mundo. El artifice de esta teoria, Charles Darwin, fue un extraordinario cientifico cuya vida, jalonada por apasionantes viajes, arduos estudios y acaloradas polemicas, posee todos los ingredientes de una novela de aventuras. Cuando se celebra el bicentenario de su nacimiento (12 de febrero de 1809), esta biografia profusamente ilustrada (20 fotografias en color y 60 en blanco y negro) relata de manera concisa pero rigurosa la trayectoria vital del autor de El origen de las especies, al tiempo que muestra su lado mas humano. El tambien cientifico Tim M. Berra expone con claridad las teorias darwinistas y analiza su impacto en la actualidad y en el pensamiento occidental, mientras traza un fresco retrato del hombre que fue Darwin, combinandolo con anecdotas, detalles curiosos e ilustraciones cuidadosamente seleccionadas. / Two hundred years after Charles Darwin's birth (February 12, 1809), this thoroughly illustrated, yet concise biography reveals the great scientist as husband, father, and friend. Tim M. Berra, whose ""Darwin: The Man"" lectures are in high demand worldwide, tells the fascinating story of the person and the idea that changed everything. Berra discusses Darwin's revolutionary scientific work, its impact on modern-day biological science, and the influence of Darwin's evolutionary theory on Western thought. But Berra digs deeper to reveal Darwin the man by combining anecdotes with carefully selected illustrations and photographs. This small gem of a book includes 20 color plates and 60 black-and-white illustrations, along with an annotated list of Darwin's publications and a chronology of his life.
