Correspondence of Charles Darwin: 1861, Vol. 9 »

Scientist Charles Darwin once asserted that "a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections -- a mere heart of stone." Indeed, his objective take on evolution asserted in The Origin of Species shook the foundations of traditional religion to its core.

The letters in Volume 9 provide another indispensable collection for those interested in Darwin's life, work, and world.
