These pages represent a purposedly biased choice of dates relevant to biology, obtained by compiling a great many different sources, often using the original texts and not the WWW; the information collected here does not use Wikipedia which, by construction, relies on a process akin to a vote, and changes over time in order to reflect some kind of a popular anonymous consensus about knowledge. Care has been taken to check information and rewrite it when needed; direct access links to the original sources is provided whenever possible; however date records still contain many errors; the links are chosen to be as diverse as possible, they do not engage the responsability of the author.

The Top 10 ‘first’ botanic gardens. How the invention of paper changed the world. Image copyright Getty Images The Gutenberg printing press - invented in the 1440s by Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith from Mainz in Germany - is widely considered to be one of humanity's defining inventions.
Gutenberg figured out how to make large quantities of durable metal type and how to fix that type firmly enough to print hundreds of copies of a page, yet flexibly enough that the type could be reused to print an entirely different page. His famous bibles were objects beautiful enough to rival the calligraphy of the monks. The crisp black Latin script is perfectly composed into two dense blocks of text, occasionally highlighted with a flourish of red ink. Image copyright iStock Actually, you can quibble with Gutenberg's place in history. It is also not true that Gutenberg single-handedly created mass literacy. The Botany of Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century. The long eighteenth century saw widespread exploration and a tremendous increase in the traffic in botanical specimens.
The goal of many imperial expeditions was to explore the natural resources of colonies and distant lands in search of potentially profitable plants and products. Plants arrived at major cities on board ships, and were grown in botanical gardens that were often state-funded. The plants were studied and cultivated, especially if they were perceived to have economic or medicinal value.

Beautiful Science - Natural History Timeline. British Library: Botany in British India Material. BHL Valued by Historians. Many people tend to think of BHL as a resource for scientists.
While it’s true that scientists use BHL to find species descriptions and data about earth’s flora and fauna, they are not the exclusive beneficiaries of this wealth of knowledge. BHL contains more than half a millennia's worth of records about the discovery of life on our planet. It is valuable both for the raw data it provides and for the context and history it relates.
It is not just a repository of biodiversity information. It also captures the evolution of our understanding, appreciation, and interactions with the natural world. Dr. Botany in print: books and their readers in 18th-century Dublin. Elaine Ayers. I am a PhD candidate in Princeton's Program in the History of Science, broadly working on the intersections of aesthetics, exploration, and natural history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the British tropics. My dissertation follows four species of plants that confounded ideas of plant reproduction, troubled notions of floral beauty, and upset configurations of gender, sexuality, science, and empire. I'm especially interested in how plants were transported across oceans and figured as material objects in Victorian museums, herbaria, and gardens. My recent work can be found in The Public Domain Review and The Appendix. This semester you'll find me precepting in Princeton for Michael Gordin's undergraduate "Science in the Modern World" course and serving as Associate Director of the Behrman Society while living and writing in Philadelphia.

The beauty there is in mosses must be considered from the holiest, quietest nook. " — Henry David Thoreau (1817–62). Mosses carpet my hillside backyard, a green expanse covering soil and wood. A fat robin, with nervous energy, hunts for bugs in rotten timbers, unfolding green mats with his beak. He is well aware that small insects hide in that green layer.
