Carolus Linnaeus and the naming of everything
"[Presents the life story of] Sweden's Carolus (Karl) Linnaeus [who] started off as a curious child who loved exploring the garden ... Karl's love of nature led him to take on a seemingly impossible task: to give a scientific name to every living thing on earth. The result was the Linnaean system--the basis for the classification system used by biologists around the world today"--Provided by publisher.
