Carl Linnaeus' Systema Naturae (1735) brought order to all recorded knowledge about plants and animals. He invented the system of giving living organisms two Latin names. Here is a lively account of Linnaeus the man-from poor student to professor of medicine and founder of the Royal Academy of Sciences-as well as his landmark scientific achievements, such as naming 9,000 plants, 828 shells, 2,100 insects and 477 fish.

Examines the history of taxonomy, describing the quest of scientists to name and classify living things from Carl Linnaeus to early twenty-first-century scientists who rely more on microscopic evidence than their senses, which has encouraged an indifference to nature that is responsible for the extinction of many species.

Eighteenth-century natural historians created a peculiar, and peculiarly durable, vision of nature--one that embodied the sexual and racial tensions of that era. When plants were found to reproduce sexually, eighteenth-century botanists ascribed to them passionate relations, polyandrous marriages, and suicidal incest, and accounts of steamy plant sex began to infiltrate the botanical literature of the day. Naturalists also turned their attention to the great apes just becoming known to eighteenth-century Europeans, clothing the females in silk vestments and training them to sip tea with the modest demeanor of English matrons, while imagining the males of the species fully capable of ravishing women.
