Title: A Biographical Dictionary of Contributors to the Natural History of the Free State
Description: This work briefly records the lives and achievements of 502 men and women who contributed, or are still contributing, to the natural history of the Free State and Lesotho, between 1829 and 2013. This book is a very valuable addition to our knowledge of the history and biographical details of all persons who have been involved with the natural history of the Free State and Lesotho. As such, it is a unique compilation of data about many individuals that would not be possible to find elsewhere. — Ted Oliver, Ph.D. (UCT). Research Fellow, Department of Botany & Zoology, Stellenbosch University, and immediate past President of the Botanical Society of South Africa. I can predict with high confidence that this book will become a classic in the academic biographical realm. — Dave Pepler, M.Phil. (Cantab.). Environmental consultant, Director SSC Africa and former Senior Lecturer, Conservation Ecology, University of Stellenbosch. A treasure trove of valuable information that will appeal to both scientists and the informed general public. Not only is this the first publication of its kind for the region covered, but also for South Africa as a whole. Moreover, its usefulness as a source of reference extends beyond the Free State and Lesotho, as many of the people included contributed to the natural history of other parts of South Africa. — Braam van Wyk, D.Sc. (UP). Professor (Louis Botha Chair), Department of Plant Science, University of Pretoria.
