reviewed Linnaeus: The Compleat Naturalist on November 16, 2017 Linnaeus: The Compleat Naturalist
An excellent and insightful life of the great man, showing him as an inquisitive, thoughtful, wilful and complex human being. I shared the discomforts of his journey to Lapland, the accolades heaped upon him, the difficult choices he was obliged to make. I finally understood, too, the history of the Linnaean classification system, with the assistance of the helpful appendices. Every aspiring naturalist should read this book to gain both understanding and inspiration.
