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

"This beautifully written book has the verve of an adventure story." â€•Wall Street Journal
From the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth, a colorful band of amateur naturalists explored the most perilous corners of the planet to discover new life-forms. Amid globe-spanning tales of adventure, Richard Conniff recounts a dramatic historical shift, as humans finally discovered the pantheon of life on Earth-and our place within it.
