AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Rumphius wrote THE AMBONESE CURIOSITY CABINET before the world had ever heard of the great methodizer of nature, Linnaeus, and full century and a half before Darwin and Wallace talked of evolution. As such it is an anomaly in the modern world, where science and natural history are virtually autonymous. Thus if you wish to learn about the taxonomic relationships of mollusks or crabs, THE AMBONESE CURIOSITY CABINET is not for you....If, however, you revel in the struggle of humanity to comprehend the vastness and beauty of nature, and if you can see the world, even fleeting, through another's eyes, then this book will repay you a thousandfold."Rumphius , Georgius Everhardus is the author of 'Ambonese Curiosity Cabinet' with ISBN 9780300075342 and ISBN 0300075340.
