Darwin's Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory

Many of Darwin's scientific advances were tested and proven in his own garden and greenhouse, using simple tools to carry out a stunning list of experiments that laid the foundations for modern biology. This book takes readers from Darwin's life and his famous voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he began to formulate his ideas about evolution, to his home and garden where he worked for forty years to refine and prove his revolutionary arguments.
