Sobre este item
Icon., 2003. Softcover. Very Good. Sex, Botany & Empire: The Story of Carl Linnaeus & Joseph Banks" by Patricia Fara (ISBN: 9781785782275): This book explores the fascinating intersection of science, botany, and the British Empire through the lives of two prominent figures—Carl Linnaeus and Joseph Banks. Linnaeus, an 18th-century botanist, is known for developing the binomial nomenclature system for naming and classifying species. Banks, a naturalist and explorer, accompanied Captain James Cook on his voyages of discovery. Fara delves into their contributions to botany and the ways in which their work influenced and intersected with the expansion of the British Empire. The book examines the entangled history of science, imperialism, and the exploration of the natural world, offering insights into the complex relationships between scientific knowledge and colonial endeavors. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
