Available from Watson Kennedy when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

In Every Living Thing, Jason Roberts weaves a sweeping, unforgettable narrative spell, exploring the intertwined lives and legacies of eighteenth century scientests Linnaeus and Buffon—as well as the groundbreaking, often fatal adventures of their acolytes—to trace an arc of insight and discovery that extends across three centuries and into present day. An epic, extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth
