Download Darwin's Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory AudioBook Free
Wayne T. Costa needs listeners on the journey from Darwin's junior and moves on the HMS Beagle to Down House, his bustling home of 40 years. To check his insights into progression, Darwin devised an amazing selection of hands-on experiments using his garden and greenhouse, surrounding meadows and woodlands, even overtaking the cellar, analysis, garden, and hallways of his home-turned-field-station. Darwin involved his children, friends, and friends and neighbors as assistants and prompted fellow naturalists to check out his business lead. His inventive experiments yielded widespread truths about character and facts for his ground-breaking quarrels in On the Origin of Types and other watershed works. We accompany Darwin in his myriad pursuits against the background of his long lasting marriage, chronic health issues, grief at the increased loss of three children, and delight in medical revelation. At each chapter's end, Costa shows how exactly we, too, can investigate the wonders of nature at the job, with directions how to re-create Darwin's experiments.
