Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the evolution of the concept of 'discovery' through examination of the unique history of taxonomy and naming practices in zoology. The author traces the evolution of taxonomic systems, methods and technologies that have molded the discipline of zoology from its very beginnings. The book examines the ways that the practice of discovery has changed over centuries, with the shifting definitions of discovery varying from recognition, to description, to interpretation and now increasingly to prediction. The author also discusses the social, cultural, and philosophical factors that have influenced discovery and its changing role in science. This book is a comprehensive and critical examination of the history of discovery in zoology and a valuable resource for understanding the history and development of scientific knowledge.
