The aliveness of plants

Description:

The Darwin family was instrumental in the history of botany. Their experiences illustrate the growing specialization and professionalisation of science throughout the 19th century. This book shows how botany escaped the burdens of medicine and the sterility of classification and nomenclature to become a rigorous laboratory science.
