In 1732 a young Carl Linnaeus set off alone into Lapland to catalogue a land at the edge of the map. Volume one carries him through Gestrickland and Helsingland day by day, noting plants, people, and customs with the eye that would soon organize all of nature. The naturalist's first great journey. Ride north with the future father of taxonomy.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
