''Carolus Linnaeus'' by Edward Lee Greene is a biography of the famous Swedish botanist who is widely considered the father of modern taxonomy. The book details Linnaeus’ life, from his early years growing up in rural Sweden to his education at the University of Uppsala and his eventual rise to fame as a botanist and naturalist. The book explores Linnaeus’ groundbreaking work in developing a system for classifying and naming plants and animals, which revolutionized the field of biology and laid the foundation for modern scientific classification. It also delves into his many travels and expeditions, including his famous journey to Lapland, where he collected and catalogued hundreds of new plant species.Throughout the book, Greene provides insights into Linnaeus’ personal life, including his relationships with family members, colleagues, and students, as well as his struggles with illness and financial difficulties. The book also includes numerous illustrations, including portraits of Linnaeus and images of some of the plants and animals he studied.Overall, ''Carolus Linnaeus'' is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential scientists in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
