Be transported to the glorious days of Spring with this intricately
illustrated puzzle from Sara Boccaccini Meadows. Includes a double
sided poster - one side can be used to help you complete the
puzzle, and the other is a guide to grow your own plants.
Darwin's theory of evolution changed how people saw the world and
their place in it. He challenged the long-held belief that God had
created every living thing in its current shape, and showed how he
believed that animals had evolved, or changed over time. This book
looks at Darwin's life and work, and shows how his discoveries both
changed society at the time and influenced people in the future.
