Review
In Praise of Amateurs
By Freeman J. Dyson </authors/514>
"... there is a wide hinterland of biology away from the mainstream,
where amateurs following the tradition of Darwin discover new species of
wildflowers, breed new varieties of dogs and pigeons and orchids, and
collect butterflies. The writer Vladimir Nabokov is the most famous of
twentieth-century butterfly collectors, but there are many others not so
famous who also discovered new species."
