Darwin's backyard : how small experiments led to a big theory
Costa, James T., 1963-2018
Books
James T. Costa takes readers on a journey from Darwin's youth and travels on the HMS Beagle to Down House, his bustling home of forty years. To test his insights into evolution, Darwin devised an astonishing array of hands-on experiments using his garden and greenhouse, surrounding meadows and woodlands, even taking over the cellar, study, yard and hallways of his home-turned-field-station. Darwin engaged his children, friends and neighbours as assistants and encouraged fellow naturalists to follow his lead.
