83,57 €(IVA inc.)
The advent of relational data basing and data storage capacity, coupled with revolutionary advances in molecular sequencing technology and specimen imaging, have led to a taxonomic renaissance. This volume maps the origins of this renaissance, beginning with Linnaeus, through his ‘apostles’, via the great unsung hero Charles Davies Sherbon ¿ arguably the father of bioinformatics ¿ up tothe present day with the Planetary Biodiversity Inventories and into the future with the Encyclopedia of Life and web-based taxonomy. It provides scientific, historical, and cultural documentation of the evolution of taxonomy and thesuccessful adaptation of the Linnean nomenclature system to that evolution.
