Item description from seller

pp.xviii, 441 with b/w. illus. 8vo. Fine hardback in fine dw. James T. Costa takes readers on a journey from Charles Darwin's youth and travels on the H.M.S. Beagle to Down House, his home of 40 years. To test his insights into evolution, Darwin devised experiments using his garden and greenhouse, the surrounding land and his home-turned-field-station. His experiments yielded universal truths about nature and evidence for his revolutionary arguments in On the Origin of Species and other watershed works. At each chapter's end, Costa shows how we can investigate the wonders of nature, with directions on how to re-create Darwin's experiments.
