Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by a great mind of the day, explores the insights gleaned from a series of voyages where the author was fascinated by the natural world he confronted. The work is significant for the attention given to the plant world, with discussions occupying a fair share of the narrative. The author draws attention to striking phenomena witnessed first-hand and recorded by fellow horticulturists, that challenge current understandings of the natural world, the adaptation of plants, and the transmission of qualities. A great deal of the discussion is based on a specific hypothesis, and will be most interesting for those with a background in the subject matter. The author argues for gradual alteration of transmitted qualities by process of natural selection into general progression, improvement, or better adaptation for the plant's given place in the world.
