On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants, Paperback/Charles Darwin

Darwin's 1865 study of the mechanics of climbing plants shows the development of his ideas about adaptation and environment. Inspired by the work of the botanist Asa Gray, Darwin examined a variety of plants and was fascinated by their different methods of climbing: by twisting stem, leaf, tendril or root.
