Charles Darwin is primarily known for his work on the evolution of animals, yet a significant portion of his contribution to the natural sciences focuses on plants. His observations are critical to our modern understanding of the pollination process in orchids and the way vines climb. The book Darwin and the Art of Botany collects texts from six often overlooked works of his, dedicated entirely to plants, and pairs each excerpt with beautiful botanical art from the library of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation, creating a wonderfully illustrated volume that never existed during Darwin's lifetime and has not existed since. Evolutionary botanist and historian of science James Costa brings his expertise to each section, placing Darwin's words in the context of the knowledge and research of his time. The result is a new visual depiction of Darwin's work and a greater understanding of how it has shaped our world.
