Why does one primrose bear long stamens and its neighbor short? Charles Darwin unravels the puzzle of flowers that come in two or three forms on the same species, showing how the arrangement ensures cross-pollination. A patient, brilliant piece of botanical detective work. Follow Darwin as he cracks the hidden code of the primrose.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
