The book, written by Richard Lydekker, provides a comprehensive account of Flower’s life and work, from his early years as a student at University College London to his later career as a leading figure in the scientific community. Lydekker delves into Flower’s many achievements, including his groundbreaking research on the anatomy of mammals and his contributions to the development of the Natural History Museum in London. The book also explores Flower’s personal life, including his marriage to a fellow scientist and his relationships with his colleagues and contemporaries. Throughout the biography, Lydekker provides detailed descriptions of Flower’s scientific discoveries and innovations, as well as the broader social and political context in which he worked. The book is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable scientist and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of zoology and natural history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
