(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1878. A volume by Darwin the British naturalist who became famous for his theories of evolution and natural selection. After the publication of Origin of the Species, Darwin continued to write and publish books on Biology. Darwin writes in his autobiography about The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilization in the Vegetable Kingdom that: the results there arrived at explain, as I believe, the endless and wonderful contrivances for the transportal of pollen from one plant to another of the same species. I now believe, however, chiefly from the observations of Hermann Muller, that I ought to have insisted more strongly than I did on the many adaptations for self-fertilization; though I was well aware of many such adaptations.

Autorenporträt
Charles Darwin, born in 1809 in Shrewsbury, England, became one of the most influential naturalists in history. Initially studying medicine and theology, he shifted his focus to natural history, a passion that led him to join the HMS Beagle's five-year voyage around the world. During this journey, he collected specimens and recorded observations that laid the groundwork for his evolutionary theories.In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, where he introduced his theory of evolution by natural selection. He argued that species evolve gradually, with the best-adapted organisms more likely to survive and reproduce. This idea challenged traditional views and sparked intense debate, yet it provided a new framework for understanding life's diversity.Though controversial at first, Darwin's theory of natural selection eventually gained acceptance, transforming biological science. His contributions continued with later works like The Descent of Man. Darwin passed away in 1882 and was honored with burial in Westminster Abbey, leaving a legacy that remains central to modern biology.
