The Botanic Garden, a Poem in Two Parts. Part 1: the Economy of Vegetation
Erasmus Darwin
Charles Darwin's grandfather turned botany into soaring verse. Erasmus Darwin's long poem personifies the forces of the living world, from fire and water to the secret economy of plants, footnoted throughout with the boldest science of his day. Strange, dazzling, and years ahead of its time. Read the poem that dressed the natural world in myth and molecules.
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.
