The world of Carl Linnaeus is much more than simple science, his interdisciplinary thinking spans natural history, cultural history and human destiny. During his day he was the source or instigator of many incredible stories from almost every corner of our planet and his passionate desire to discover and unveil new knowledge will always be a source of inspiration for others.   Be inspired!
