Darwin’s Backyard reveals the humble “experimentising” that the brilliant thinker and scientist Charles Darwin harnessed to delve into the mysteries of evolution. Using his garden, greenhouse, neighboring woodlands, and even the halls and rooms of his home-turned-field-station, Darwin tested out ideas of his theory of evolution with an astonishing array of hands-on experiments, many with the help of his family, friends, and correspondents. James T. Costa, an “experimentiser” himself, provides “in one outstanding aspect of the book” (Science News) directions for eighteen experiments to do in your home, school, yard, or garden. 60 line drawingsBuy Darwin's Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory by James T.
