History of Botany (1530-1860)
Julius Sachs and Isaac Bayley Balfour
From herbalists sketching plants to botanists mapping whole families, the study of plants grew up over three centuries. Julius Sachs charts that history from 1530 to 1860, following the classifiers from Brunfels to Bauhin and the rise of morphology. A monumental, authoritative history of the science. For the serious student of botany's origins and its great thinkers. Trace the growth of a science.
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.
