Description

Darwin's Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory by James T. Costa explores the life and work of Charles Darwin through his personal experiments and observations. From his childhood to his time on the HMS Beagle, Darwin tested ideas about evolution using simple equipment in his garden, greenhouse, and home. Costa reveals how these experiments helped shape Darwin's landmark theory of evolution as outlined in On the Origin of Species. The book also includes eighteen experiments that readers can try at home, school, or in their own gardens. This unique perspective on Darwin's life and work offers a fresh insight into the development of one of the most influential scientific theories of all time.
