Media reviews
Books like this are not written any more because people with Rumphius' knowledge and writing skills do not exist any more. He paints a picture of the world he lived in, a picture no one else has provided and of great historical and ethnobotanical interest. Henk van der Werff, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri "A book filled with interesting titbits of information that hold the reader's attention. Enlightening and original." Wesley E. Higgins, Director of Systematics, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, Florida
