Description
A graphic adaptation of one of the most famous and contested books of all time. Few books have been as controversial or as historically significant as Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Since the moment it was released on November 24, 1859, Darwin's masterwork has been heralded for changing the course of science and condemned for its implied challenges...

In this 1880 book, written with his son Francis, Darwin makes the pioneering attempt to connect plant movements with the larger scheme of biological behavior. Not well received at the time, it has proven to be an enduring influence on plant movement research: he was talking about Phototropism, that plants grow towards a light source.
