Since emerging as a discipline in the middle of the eighteenth century, natural history has been at the heart of the life sciences. It gave rise to the major organizing theory of life--evolution--and continues to be a vital science with impressive practical value. Central to advanced work in ecology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental science, natural history also attracts enormous popular interest.

Natural History as a Field Study

An audacious and engaging examination to the almost three-century-long tradition of natural history. The Swedish scientist Linnaeus probably was modern botany's founder beginning during the Enlightenment. He truly was responsible for the Collecting, Classifying and Interpreting Nature. Paul Lawrence Farber outlines the History of Science in this concise book and fortunately brings the reader to the Naturalist as Generalist: Edward O. Wilson. The Inrernational Year of Biodiversity is 2010 and we all should consider where we are now and what the future may bring! Natural History is fascinating and it means more to us than we truly recognize. Dag Stomberg St. Andrews, Scotland
