The Power of Movement in Plants
Charles Darwin and Francis, Sir Darwin
Plants move, slowly and deliberately, and Charles Darwin proved it with painstaking care. His power of movement in plants traces the circumnutating sweep of seedlings and the growth that guides them toward light and support. Precise, patient, and quietly revolutionary. A classic of botanical science from the master observer himself. Discover the hidden, restless movements of the green world Darwin brought to light.
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.
