'The Great Naturalists' (edited by Robert Huxley)

Today, I'd like to show you one of my books. I bought this book a few days ago, in a bookstore near the shop where I bough my butterfly.

The book is about all the great naturalists who did or discovered something fundamental for the naturalistic science.

The book is devided in four time sections:

• Classical writers
• Renaissance
• Modern history
• The 19th century

Every section contains several chapters, one for each naturalist. The book describes the lifestories of the naturalists, what they did and why that was so important for the development of biological science. 

It is not only a book to read, but also a book to just look at. I like the design very much, and the book is full of beautiful, old images. Images from other times. Plants, animals and notes, all made by those naturalists, all from the books they wrote during their lives.

Ok, I stop my narration, now. Step into the wonderful world of The Great Naturalists.
