The second volume of Charles Darwin's two-volume study of variation under domestication, written as a series of scientific essays. It examines inheritance, reversion, crossing, and the causes of variability in domesticated animals and plants, drawing on breeders' records and experiments. It is worth listening to for a clear view of Darwin's methods and the questions that shaped evolutionary thought.
