An American botanist became Darwin's chief ally across the Atlantic. Asa Gray's essays and reviews defend natural selection while wrestling honestly with its wider meaning, article by article. Thoughtful, generous, and grounded in a lifetime among plants. See how the new theory was argued and understood in nineteenth-century America.

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.
