Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species is still the most readable and approachable of the great revolutionary works of scientific imagination. A classic that shook the world and caused controversy among scientists and religious people because its explanation seemed to contradict the account of the creation of the world in Genesis in the Bible. The timeless work that, in Darwin's words, "unfolds the mystery of mysteries in an intimate, informal and entertaining style" continues to alter the way we think about the universe and is still relevant to research on the development of ideas.
