Description

This catalog was published for an exhibition to commemorate the 300th birthday of the great Swedish Scientist, Carolus Linnaeus, held Feb. 15-July 1, 2007, at the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia. Biologists today regard Linnaeus’s work as the foundation of the modern life sciences. The 300th anniversary of his birth is a perfect moment to see how important he has been, not just to biology, but also to human thought more broadly. For Americans this tercentenary is also a chance to look back & see how Linnaeus’s fascination with America helped shape our national identity -- & how his ideas take on new meaning in our own time. Color illustrations. Beautifully designed!
