Karl, Get Out of the Garden!: Carolus Linnaeus and the Naming of Everything, (Hardcover)

Do you know what a <i>Solanum caule inermi herbaceo, foliis pinnatis incises, racemis simplicibus </i>is?* <p> Carolus (Karl) Linnaeus started off as a curious child who loved exploring the garden. Despite his intelligence--and his mother's scoldings--he was a poor student, preferring to be outdoors with his beloved plants and bugs. As he grew up, Karl's love of nature led him to take on a seemingly impossible task: to give a scientific name to every living thing on earth. The result was the Linnaean system--the basis for the classification system used by biologists around the world today. Backyard sciences are brought to life in beautiful color. </p><p>Back matter includes more information about Linnaeus and scientific classification, a classification chart, a time line, source notes, resources for young readers, and a bibliography. </p><p>*it's a tomato! </p><p><b><br>A handsome introductory book on Linnaeus and his work -- Booklist, starred review </b></p><p><b>A good introduction to a man in a class by himself -- Kirkus Reviews </b></p><p><b>Lends significant humanity to the naturalist -- Publisher's Weekly </b></p><p><b>The biographical approach to a knotty scientific subject makes this a valuable addition to STEM and biography collections -- School Library Journal<br></b></p>
