What Linnaeus saw

a scientist's quest to name every living thing
Karen Magnuson Beil
Book - 2019

Profiles the life and work of eighteenth-century Swedish naturalist and physician Carl Linnaeus who changed how people studied and cataloged species after finding a complete lack of official organizational strategy. He invented what would later be known as the Linnaean system for classifying plants and animals that became the basis of modern scientific taxonomy and revolutionized biology. He also helped dispel common myths such as dragons and phoenixes. Includes a timeline, and a glossary of botanical and scientific terms.
