AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb two-volume set richly illustrated and written by a collective of naturalists, scientists and science popularizers, a vast synthesis devoted to the famous Jardin des Plantes of Paris, its history, its collections and the main branches of the natural sciences taught and developed there -

The work first recounts the founding of the Royal Garden of Medicinal Plants in the 17th century, its evolution under the Ancien Régime, its transformation into the National Museum of Natural History during the French Revolution, and its central role in the progress of biological, medical and geological sciences in the 19th century -

The authors present the great naturalists who left their mark on its history, notably Buffon, Daubenton, Jussieu, Cuvier, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Lamarck and their successors, explaining their discoveries, their research methods and their influence on the development of zoology, botany, comparative anatomy, paleontology and geology -
