Natural Designs - Gonzalo Fernandez De Oviedo and the Invention of New World Nature

"This book explores the works of the inaugural historian of American nature, Gonzalo Fernâandez de Oviedo (1478-1557). Oviedo's pioneering role in early modern science is often overlooked. By foregrounding his role as writer, illustrator, and editor of New World nature, this book draws renewed attention to this Spanish historian, the first to give shape to this reality"-- Provided by publisher.
