Following the route of Darwin's expedition and studies, this copiously illustrated book tells the story of life: what "it is, what has shaped it, and how - through ceaseless change and proliferation- it has unfolded the infinitely diverse panorama of flora and fauna that blanket the globe."

Discusses the earlier theories, discoveries, and experiments of such men as Max Planck, A.A. Michelson, and E.W. Morley, that formed a starting point for Dr. Einstein's work.
