Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a pioneering translation of Linnaeus's seminal work, Systema Naturae, and introduces his revolutionary classification system to English-speaking audiences for the first time. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Linnaeus's work established the basis for modern taxonomy and binomial nomenclature, which are fundamental to understanding the organization and evolution of life on Earth. While Carl Linnaeus is acknowledged as the 'Father of Taxonomy', his work was originally published in Latin, limiting its accessibility to English-speaking scholars. This translation includes essential terms and extensive annotations to help readers understand the complex terminology and grasp the nuances of Linnaeus's groundbreaking ideas. Moreover, this book situates Linnaeus's work within the broader history of biology, providing a valuable perspective on the development of scientific thought in the Enlightenment era. Overall, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the origins of modern taxonomy and gain a deeper understanding of the foundations of biological classification. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
