Beschreibung

Advance praise for Naming Nature:
“Original, delightful, and wise. . . . Yoon descends from the best writers of popular science, Stephen Jay Gould and Brian Greene among them.”—Sue Halpern, author of Four Wings and a Prayer: Caught in the Mystery of the Monarch Butterfly
“Naming Nature will be enjoyed by every biologist, birder, and general nature lover.”—Paul R. Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies, Stanford University, and author of The Dominant Animal: Human Evolution and the Environment
“Naming Nature is rich with prickly characters, from Linnaeus to Ernst Mayr to Willi Hennig, who animate the fascinating story of how science has learned to find a deep orderliness within life's diversity.”—David Quammen, author of The Reluctant Mr. Darwin
“To name is to know is to be able to love, and that is biodiversity's last best hope: Such is the thesis of this compelling, quirky, beautifully written guide.”—David Takacs, author of Philosophies of Paradise: The Idea of Biodiversity
“A fascinating history of science, an illumination of nature's improbable exuberance, and a thoughtful evaluation of occasional conflict between man-made definitions and living reality.”—Deborah Blum, author of Monkey Wars
“Optimistic, exhilarating and revolutionary.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
