Published by: Thames and Hudson

1st edition. Book Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket: Very Good+.
A very lightly used and well looked after book inside a very lightly bumped DJ.
This book tells the story of the development of ideas about natural history as seen through the lives, observations and discoveries of nearly forty great naturalists, from Classical times to the end of the 19th century.
From such giants as Aristotle, Linnaeus and Darwin to less lauded but nonetheless important figures as Antony van Leeuwenhoek, Nicolas Steno and Mary Anning.
Beautifully illustrated throughout.
