Anna Pavord: Searching for Order - Paul Ferguson - 01-04-2025
"Searching for Order: The history of the alchemists, herbalists and philosophers who unlocked the secrets of the plant world."
"Searching for Order traces the search for order in the natural world, a search that for hundreds of years occupied some of the most brilliant minds in Europe. Redefining man's relationship with nature was an important feature of the Renaissance. But in a world full of plagues and poisons, there was also a practical need to name and recognise different plants: most medicines were made from plant extracts."
