Linnaeus

Autorentext
Lisbet Koerner is an associate of the Department of the History of Science, Harvard University.

Zusammenfassung
Drawing on letters, poems, notebooks, and secret diaries, Koerner tells the story of one of the most famous naturalists who ever lived, the Swedish-born botanist and systematizer, Carl Linnaeus. Koernerâ™s narrative goes against the grain of scholarship old and new by analyzing not how modern Linnaeus was, but how he understood science in his time.
