Charles Darwin is best known for his work on the evolution of animals, but much of his contribution to the natural sciences focuses on plants. Discover how Darwin developed key concepts that have been essential to today's scientific advancement in plant anatomy and function. How does pollination work? Why do vines climb? What are the digestive processes carried out by carnivorous plants? Darwin and Botany compiles writings from six often-overlooked texts devoted entirely to plants, and pairs each excerpt with beautiful botanical illustrations from the Oak Spring Garden Foundation Library, creating a beautifully illustrated volume that did not exist in Darwin's lifetime or since. Evolutionary botanist and scientific historian James T. Costa reflects his extensive expertise in each chapter, placing Darwin's words in the context of the knowledge and research of the time.
