520 3 "Natural history, the deliberate observation of the
environment, is arguably the oldest science. From purely
practical beginnings as a way of finding food and shelter,
natural history evolved into the holistic, systematic
study of plants, animals, and the landscape. Deep Things
out of Darkness chronicles the rise, decline, and ultimate
revival of natural history within the realms of science
and public discourse. Ecologist John G.T. Anderson focuses
his account on the lives and contributions of an eclectic
group of men and women, from John Ray, John Muir, Charles
Darwin, and Rachel Carson, who endured remarkable
hardships and privations in order to learn more about
their surroundings. Written in an engaging narrative style
and with an extensive bibliography of primary sources, the
book charts the journey of the naturalist's endeavor from
prehistory to the present, underscoring the need for
natural history in an era of dynamic environmental
change."--|cProvided by publisher.
