Copertina di Charles Darwin: The Power of Movement in Plants (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this 1880 book, written with his son Francis, Darwin makes the pioneering attempt to connect plant movements with the larger scheme of biological behavior. Not well received at the time, it has proven to be an enduring influence on plant movement research: he was talking about Phototropism, that plants grow towards a light source.

Circa l’autore

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) is perhaps the most important naturalist the world has known. He developed the modern theory of scientific evolution and, with others, the principle of natural selection. His landmark work, The Origin of Species, which explained the evolutionary process, was vehemently attacked as being at odds with the Bible.
