“This book provides a sweeping, evocative, and compelling overview of the ways scientists in Mexico have studied nature. Covering nearly four centuries and an incredible cast of characters, the book stitches together different disciplinary approaches and cases to create a cohesive whole. In short, this book contains that missing piece of historical storytelling that links the traditional knowledge about the diversity of the Mexican landscape with the modern pride in its continuing protection.”—Emily Wakild, author of Revolutionary Parks: Conservation, Social Justice, and Mexico’s National Parks, 1910–1940
