Description

"...I think that I have succeeded in showing. . . kind of movement common to all parts of all plants from their earliest youth."

- Charles Darwin, The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, Volume II (1880)

The Power of Movement in Plants (1880) includes illustrations and documents the extensive research and study of phototropism among other plant movements by Charles Darwin and his son, Francis. The chapters focus particularly on a plant's evolution and adaptation to external stimuli with particular attention to circumnutation. This in-depth research is a must-read for lovers of the origins of botany and biology.

About the Author
Darwin, Charles: - CHARLES DARWIN (1809-1882), English scientist, naturalist, and geologist, revolutionized science, especially biology, with his theory of evolution through natural selection. As a passenger aboard the Beagle, Darwin became intrigued by the existence of different species in different geographical locations, which aided in the development of his theory. In addition to The Origin of Species, he is also remembered for The Voyage of the Beagle, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.Darwin, Francis: - FRANCIS DARWIN (1848-1925) was the seventh child of Charles Darwin and worked with his father in the study of botany. His book, The Practical Physiology of Plants (1894) was the first of its kind, and The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin (1887) is his best-known work.
