The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth by Richard Conniff

rogue_runner's review against another edition

4.0

Pretty good- easy to read, with lots of interesting anecdotes peppered throughout, and well written movement from topic to topic. I would have liked more on the female explorers of the day, as there was only a little of this mostly at the end. But otherwise, very interesting- and didn't solely focus on Darwin!

A great survey from Linnaeus through Findlay and others battling arboviruses. Loved it!

A really interesting and sometimes funny look at the characters willing to risk their lives(and the lives of others) in the mad rush to discover new species!
