Joseph Banks and His Collectors: An Adventurous History of Botany

Jordan Goodman
As a young man and a dedicated botanist, Joseph Banks (1743–1820) went on three scientific voyages, including Cook’s epic circumnavigation on Endeavour; later, he sent others to collect specimens for his great project at Kew. Based on his letters, this study sketches Banks’s life and tells the stories of his collectors and their voyages, how they found and collected plants, and how Banks used their work to advance the science of botany.
