{"product_id":"9781853267802","title":"The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin","description":"With an Introduction by Jeff Wallace.   'A grain in the balance will determine which individual shall live and which shall die...'.   Darwin's theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought and belief: no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task.   Yet The Origin of Species (1859) is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and - by implication - within the human world.   Written for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigour of science with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313088278901,"sku":"9781853267802","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853267802.jpg?v=1762825330","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781853267802","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
