Summary:
"
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."--From publisher.
