What is The Naturalists - Scientific Travelers in the Golden Age of Natural History about?

Travel from the Amazon River to the Missouri River with the foremost naturalists of the pre-Darwin era. Broken up into four parts, <i>The Naturalists</i> covers Early Naturalists and Scientists, Inquisitive Aristocrats, Professional Collectors of the Golden Age, and The Last Field Naturalists. In each section you'll meet such interesting naturalists as Alexander von Humboldt, who explored the equinoctial regions of South America; Charles Waterton, who was proud of his taxidermy skills; John Kirk Townsend, who trekked across the continent in the early 19th century; and Henry Walter Bates, who was once attacked by an entire flock of toucans. Complete with maps, photographs, and quotes, this is a great book for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
