The Compleat Naturalist. A Life of Linnaeus
Author: Wilfrid Blunt
Introduction by Professor William T. Stearn

The life of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), the man who gave living organisms two Latin names, is celebrated in this biography. The Swedish scientist Linnaeus was of pivotal importance in the Age of Enlightenment. While an adventurous traveller, keen collector, zoologist and geologist, his lifelong passio was for botany. He believed he was God's chosen instrument to put an end to the chaos that reigned classification of the natural world. A fascinating and rounded portrait of Linnaeus.
