This complete guide traces the development of botanical science through era-defining publications, covering:Historia Plantarum, the first history of botany, written between c. 350 BC and c. 287 BC, in which Theophrastus described plants by their uses, and attempted a biological classification, based on how plants reproduced, to the authors of the herbals of the 16th century. Brunfels, Fuchs, Bock and Mattioli, who regarded plants as the vehicles of medicinal virtues. The golden age of the 18th- and 19th-century flower hunters, who travelled to every corner of the world in search of new and exotic plants. Today’s most significant works of botanical reference. Each chapter delves into the pages of a seminal work, unveiling the insights, controversies, and stories behind the books that have shaped our understanding of the plant world. Whether you are a seasoned botanist, a budding enthusiast, or simply someone with an insatiable curiosity about the natural world, The Botanist's Library offers a comprehensive reference that will enrich your understanding of botany and its evolution.
