The letters are accompanied by detailed explanatory footnotes and relevant supplementary materials, and offer unparalleled insight into Darwin's experiments, thoughts, friendships, and family life. Volume 12 of this continuing series contains letters for 1864, when Darwin, despite continuing illness, was carrying out botanical experiments and working on his book, The Variation of Plants and Animals under Domestication. The volume also sheds light on the worldwide reception of Darwin's theory, with letters from correspondents in the United States and Germany, and also on the continuing controversy in Britain, especially with the award of the Royal Society's prestigious Copley Medal to Darwin at the end of the year.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of letters\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of provenances\u003cbr\u003e Note on editorial policy\u003cbr\u003e Darwin\/Wedgewood genealogy\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and symbols\u003cbr\u003e The correspondence, 1864\u003cbr\u003e Appendix I.
