{"product_id":"1575975","title":"The Origin: Biographical Novel Of Charles Darwin by Irving Stone","description":"\"The Origin\" - the biographical novel by Irving Stone - fills an important gap in literature on Charles Darwin. In 1832 at age 22, Charles Darwin was invited to sail with H. M. S. Beagle as a naturalist. The surveying voyage would encircle the globe. Five years later he returned to Plymouth as an experienced naturalist with a growing reputation in England, a priceless collection of rare and unknown plants and creatures, and a set of notebooks containing the germ of an idea about the origin of species.. one that was to shake the foundations of accepted wisdom everywhere. This is not only the tale of the Beagle's cruise but the account of a lifetime of intellectual inquiry. Darwin was a geologist and biologist, and could be considered the father of evolutionary theory. The novel begins with Darwin at the age of 22 and follows him through the Voyage of the Beagle until his death in 1882. The author took five years to research and write this novel, and consulted numerous Darwin scholars and even Darwin's descendants in order to write his version of Darwin's life. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"box-shadow: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%; padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%; padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eCassell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e1981\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBinding\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e9780304307906\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eGood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDescription\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 0em; padding-left: 5px; border: 0em;\"\u003eHeavy; Large; DJ.
