Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the fascinating history of a unique London garden, the Apothecaries Garden at Chelsea, and its central role in the development of botany in England from the time of the Stuarts. The garden was founded by the Apothecaries Company, which broke away from the Grocers Company in 1617, with the support of King James I. Overcoming numerous challenges, including the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, the Apothecaries persevered, making the garden a hub for botanical research, cultivation, and education. The author delves into the history of the garden, detailing its early struggles, its relationship with the Royal Society, and its crucial role in the development of the science of botany. He recounts the stories of key figures such as Thomas Johnson, who published a famous edition of Gerardââ â¢s Herball, and James Petiver, who built a vast collection of natural history specimens. The book illuminates the close ties between botany and medicine, highlighting how the study of plants was seen as essential to human health. The author explores the origins of the gardenââ â¢s name, Paradise Row, and its connections to Sir Thomas Moreââ â¢s famous Chelsea estate. He also provides insightful details about the prominent role of Sir Hans Sloane, a physician and collector, who saved the garden from abandonment and ensured its continued legacy through a generous donation. This book offers a captivating journey through the history of a unique and enduring institution, revealing the intertwined paths of science, medicine, and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
