This is a first printing of the first edition, with a complete number line. The book looks new. The interior is crisp and clean; the black covers are aslo in excellent condition. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and has just a touch of wear at the top and bottom of the spine. The jacket is now in a removeable mylar cover. Synopsis: Fara reveals an unknown side of Enlightenment society. When James Cook returned from his first voyage to Australia, the scandal writers mercilessly satirised the amorous exploits of his botanist, Joseph Banks, whose trousers were reportedly stolen while he was inside the tent of Queen Oberea of Tahiti. Carl Linnaeus's controversial new system for classifying plants was based on their sexual characteristics, and the dangerously gendered language of flowers resonated with erotic allusions. In Sweden and Britain, both imperial powers, Linnaeus and Banks ruled over their own small scientific empires, promoting botanical exploration to justify exploiting territories, peoples and natural resources.
