An account of taxonomy as zoological classification and as anthropological study which offers a perspective on the constantly shifting interactions of scientific lore, cultural ideas, and the popular imagination. Ritvo (history, MIT) shows how laymen and experts vied to classify and categorize every new specimen of plant or animal, and what the resulting controversies sometimes revealed about human society for example, the sexual proclivities of women, or the imagined hierarchy of nations and races. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
