The Story of Evolution
Joseph McCabe
From spinning nebulae to the first living cell to the rise of humankind, Joseph McCabe tells evolution as one continuous story of worlds being made and unmade. He sweeps from astronomy through geology into life itself, writing for the general reader with confidence and pace. A grand nineteenth-century synthesis of how everything came to be. Begin at the beginning.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
