| Publisher Description: Plant-Breeding is a fascinating text for any botany enthusiast, providing both insights into the evolution of botany in the 18th and 19th century in light of Darwinism and also containing much information that is still useful and practical today. Chapters of this comprehensive and informative book include: The Fact and Philosophy of Variation, The Causes of Individual Differences, The Choice of Fixations and Variations, etc. A lovely addition for any collector of historical scientific or botanical texts, this educational book, originally published in 1915, is republished now with an introductory biography of the author. Liberty Hyde Bailey ( 1858 -1954) was an American botanist, horticulturist, and founder of the American Society for Horticultural Science. |
