A Revolutionary Botanist and His Legacy
Joseph Hooker was one of the most influential botanists of the Victorian era. His groundbreaking work on plant evolution, his contributions to the development of modern scientific practices, and his leadership of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew made him a pivotal figure in the history of science.
In this comprehensive biography, Dr. John van Wyhe paints a vivid portrait of Hooker's life and work. He explores Hooker's early travels and explorations, his groundbreaking research on plant anatomy and classification, and his role in the development of Darwin's theory of evolution. He also examines Hooker's contributions to the practices of Victorian science, including his advocacy for open data, collaboration, and the use of new technologies.
