- Title
The man who organized nature: The life of Linnaeus.
- Authors
Nyberg, Kenneth
- Abstract
Gunnar Broberg's biography of Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus has been translated into English, providing a rich and extensive volume based on primary and secondary sources. Linnaeus is known for his contributions to systematic botany, but recent scholarship has highlighted his role in the development of colonial ideologies and "scientific" racism. The biography covers Linnaeus's youth, peak years, and old age, with a focus on his changing ideas and overlooked aspects such as sexuality and gender in his thinking about nature. While the translation may have some inaccuracies, the book is a valuable resource for those interested in Linnaeus's life and work.
