Nehemiah Grew
111 pages~2 hr 13 min read42 chapters$4.99
Where his greater work would later expand, Nehemiah Grew here begins: the seed as it vegetates, the root, the trunk, the leaf, and the curious thorns and hairs. This early treatise opens the microscopic study of plants. Brief, bold, and historic. For the reader curious about the birth of botany, the first steps of a science taking shape.
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.
