      Book Overview

      The share which worms have taken in the formation of the layer of vegetable mould, which covers the whole surface of the land in every moderately humid country, is the subject of the present volume. This mould is generally of a blackish colour and a few inches in thickness. In different districts it differs but little in appearance, although it may rest on various subsoils. This description may be from another edition of this product.

      Very nice little book

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I have a gardener's affection for earthworms, so this book was a delight to read for the detailed description of their behavior alone. In addition, it gives a wonderful picture of Darwin's patient and careful observation. It's become a favorite book to give as a gift to science-minded young people. It's unexpectedly charming.

      Charles Darwin, humble genius

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This last book of his is so awesome, shows the scientific method in action, with simple, understandable words. And, it covers more than "worms" but the worm parts are fascinating--did you know they can "think" and make decisions? Do you know why ancient monuments are buried? ETC. It is short, highly readable and I've purchased tons of this book over the year for friends interested in nature, curious about the world,...
