Description
The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms with Observations of Their Habits is a scientific book written by Charles Darwin. The book is a detailed study of earthworms and their role in soil formation. In the book, Darwin explains how earthworms ingest soil and organic matter, and then excrete it as casts, which are rich in nutrients and help to improve soil fertility. Darwin also describes the behavior and habits of earthworms, including their burrowing and feeding patterns. He explores the impact of earthworms on soil structure, plant growth, and the overall ecology of the soil. The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex processes involved in soil formation and the role of earthworms in this process.The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms with Observations of Their Habits is a seminal work in the field of soil science and ecology. It is a fascinating exploration of the natural world and the intricate relationships between living organisms and their environment. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scientists and general readers interested in the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Author:
Darwin, Charles
Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and author best-known for his revolutionary theories on the origin of species, human evolution, and natural selection. A life-long interest in the natural world led Darwin to neglect his medical studies and instead embark on a five-year scientific voyage on the HMS Beagle, where he established his reputation as a geologist and gathered much of the evidence that fuelled his later theories.A prolific writer, Darwin s most famous published works include The Voyage of the Beagle, On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, and The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin died in 1882, and in recognition of his contributions to science, is buried in Westminster Abbey along with John Herschel and Isaac Newton.
