Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker is remembered as an eminent Victorian botanist and one of Darwin's closest collaborators. Many know of his plant collecting expeditions in the Himalayas, but few are aware of his participation in Sir James Clark Ross's epic voyage to Antarctica in 1839-1943, of his visits to Syria and Lebanon, the Atlas Mountains and the Rockies.Extracts from his letters home and his publications testify to the narrative skills and his constant curiosity.
