Sources
- Carl Linnaeus
- The Linnean Society of London, "His Career and Legacy" -- independent institutional account (the learned society that today holds his purchased collections) describing his systematic application of the binomial system to name 'over 12,000 species throughout his career,' and describing him as 'a charismatic teacher' who 'surrounded himself with students, the most gifted of whom he sent on voyages of exploration' worldwide to collect specimens for his system, noting 'some of them died en route.'
- Lisbet Koerner, Linnaeus: Nature and Nation (Harvard University Press, 1999) -- independent academic history-of-science monograph. Read via a published review/summary (not the full monograph text) actually opened and read for this research, which characterizes Koerner's argued portrait of Linnaeus as 'a complex man -- paternalistic, patriotic, self-important and slightly mendacious,' whose ambitious global collecting/classification project was motivated in part by 'jealous[y] of British colonial and scientific success.'
