Linnaeus

This is a fascinating biography of Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish natural scientist. Linnaeus created a common language for all botanists in the world and managed to categorize the biological world. Linnaeus saw himself as God's gift to mankind. He came from a small village in the far north, but he accomplished an unprecedented feat alone more than three hundred years ago. Today, Linnaean science still remains indispensable for all scientists, but few people really know who Linnaeus was. The book offers a great opportunity for readers to get to know Linnaeus as both an ordinary man and a scientist.
