Product Information
James T. Costa takes readers on a journey from Darwin's childhood through his voyage on the HMS Beagle where his ideas on evolution began. We then follow Darwin to Down House, his bustling home of forty years, where he kept porcupine quills at his desk to dissect barnacles, maintained a flock of sixteen pigeon breeds in the dovecote, and cultivated climbing plants in the study, and to Bournemouth, where on one memorable family vacation he fed carnivorous plants in the soup dishes. Using his garden and greenhouse, the surrounding meadows and woodlands, and even taking over the cellar, study, and hallways of his home-turned-field-station, Darwin tested ideas of his landmark theory of evolution with an astonishing array of hands-on experiments that could be done on the fly, without specialized equipment. He engaged naturalists, friends, neighbors, family servants, and even his children, nieces, nephews, and cousins as assistants in these experiments, which involved everything from chasing bees and tempting fish to eat seeds to serenading earthworms. From the experiments' results, he plumbed the laws of nature and evidence for the revolutionary arguments of On the Origin of Species and his other watershed works. Beyond Darwin at work, we accompany him against the backdrop of his enduring marriage, chronic illness, grief at the loss of three children, and joy in scientific revelation. This unique glimpse of Darwin's life introduces us to an enthusiastic correspondent, crowd-sourcer, family man, and, most of all, an incorrigible observer and experimenter. Includes directions for eighteen hands-on experiments, for home, school, yard, or garden.

Reviews
The immense library available on Darwin's life and contributions may seem exhaustive. James T. Costa, writing only as a modern naturalist of the first rank can, shows us how drastically wrong that perception has been. If you've ever fantasized walking and conversing with the great scientist on the subjects that consumed him, and now wish to add the fullness of reality, read this book., Readers will enjoy the tales Costa tells and the experience of re-creating some of the famous naturalist's most enlightening work., An astonishing variety of small, yet highly significant, experiments lay behind Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. James Costa explores these natural history experiments with insight and affection, including instructions on how to learn about living nature alongside Darwin himself., [Darwin's Backyard] takes readers on a journey . . . revealing how [Darwin] found universal evolutionary truths in simple yet ingenious homespun experiments., If you think that evolution is 'just a theory,' without a firm background in the real world--read this book and learn. If you've never met Darwin as worm whisperer, seed sorcerer, honeybee helper and lots more, read this book and savor the encounter. If you simply love science and how it works--and are ready for some creative projects you can do yourself--read this book and get ready to fall in love even more!, [Costa] has done something very important with this new book: He has brought Darwin fully to life. . . . Costa has written an intimate and big-hearted book. In its pages, readers will discover the real Darwin, a complicated man behind a revolutionary theory., A passionate but balanced celebration of [Darwin's] lifelong obsession with enquiry and how the fields and meadows around his home were a microcosm of the wider world. . . . Costa more than achieves his stated goals of revealing the evolution of Darwin's insights and the relevance of his methods now., Instructive and entertaining . . . the insights Costa provides into Darwin's thinking and his revelations about the great man's working life make this a worthwhile read., An unusual look at the daily creative life of a great scientist, with opportunities to dig in and observe the workings of nature first hand using methods very similar to his own., Darwin is best known as a great theorizer . . . but Costa . . . demonstrates that he was an equally remarkable experimentalist., This book gives us a whole new perspective on both Darwin the man and on the way he did his science. If we were to force Darwin to choose a favorite from among the hundreds of books written about him, my money is on his choosing this one., Most readers will be surprised to learn of the incredible amount of field research, observation, and experimentation that Charles Darwin did in the many years after his famous voyage. Costa . . . argues that those experiences are not only foundational but also educational: they explain evolution better than any classroom lecture.

I received the wrong book. Customer service said they would send me a return label. That was June 3rd. I have not received a label. I offered to keep the book if I could purchase the book that I originally ordered at a fair price, & that book could be a used book as long as it had the dust jacket & no writing. I did not get a response to that offer. I had hoped to save the seller the trouble & expense of a return. I just want the hardcover book I ordered and not the board book that I received.
