Description
""A Monograph on the Sub-Class Cirripedia: With Figures of All the Species"" is a scientific book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1854. The book is a comprehensive study of the sub-class Cirripedia, which includes barnacles and other similar crustaceans. Darwin provides detailed descriptions of the anatomy, behavior, and classification of all known species of Cirripedia, accompanied by numerous illustrations and diagrams. The book is considered a landmark in the study of marine biology and is still widely referenced by scientists today. Darwin's observations and insights into the evolution of these creatures also foreshadowed many of his later ideas about natural selection and the origin of species. Overall, ""A Monograph on the Sub-Class Cirripedia"" is a seminal work in the field of marine biology and a testament to Darwin's scientific acumen and attention to detail.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Author:
Darwin, Charles
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and author best-known for his revolutionary theories on the origin of species, human evolution, and natural selection. A life-long interest in the natural world led Darwin to neglect his medical studies and instead embark on a five-year scientific voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he established his reputation as a geologist and gathered much of the evidence that fuelled his later theories.A prolific writer, Darwin s most famous published works include The Voyage of the Beagle, On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, and The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin died in 1882, and in recognition of his contributions to science, is buried in Westminster Abbey along with John Herschel and Isaac Newton.
