Description:
The Collector tracks Douglas' fascinating history, from ì
his humble birth in Scotland in 1799 to his botanical training ì
under the famed William Jackson Hooker to his adventures in North ì
America discovering "exotic" new plants for the English and ì
European market. The book takes readers along on Douglas' ì
journeys into a literal "brave new world" of then-obscure realms ì
from Puget Sound to the Sandwich Islands. In telling Douglas' ì
story, Nisbet evokes a lost world of early exploration, pristine ì
nature, ambition, and cultural and class conflict with ì
surprisingly modern resonances.
This book is new.
