Unique Elements<br/>19th Century Historical Outline<br/>Charles Darwin’s last scientific book<br/><br/>Charles Darwin published his final book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould, through the Action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits, on October 10th 1881, based on extensive study of worm behaviour and their important role on the earth's constantly changing topsoil, the growing medium for all plant life and thus vital to human existence, fertile and healthy. Worms starts with individual worm physiology and behaviour before moving on to the cumulative consequences of their work on the outside world. Following two lengthy chapters describing their senses and habits, four chapters describe the fruits of their labour, which include raising earth, burying buildings, nourishing the soil, and denuding the land. Darwin's scientific finding is the biological sciences' unifying hypothesis, explaining the diversity of life.<br/><br/>A Classic Reprint<br/>This title will make an excellent gift to the Evolutionary Biology buff in your life or a fantastic addition to your own classic’s library.
