The Architecture of the Science of Living Beings - Aristotle and Theophrastus on Animals and Plants

The first book-length treatment of Aristotle and Theophrastus' achievements in their separate but coordinated studies of animals and plants. It explores their original motivations for articulating their investigation of life into separate studies of animals and plants at a time when our reliance on these categories is being challenged.
