Johann Reinhold Forster Libri

Nato da genitori scozzesi in Polonia, Forster fu un Ministro Calvinista Riformato e un ornitologo pioniere in Nord America. Il suo lavoro unì in modo unico una profonda convinzione spirituale a una passione per il mondo naturale. Esplorò e documentò la vita degli uccelli con rigore scientifico e sensibilità poetica, lasciando un segno distintivo della sua epoca. I molteplici contributi di Forster evidenziano una notevole fusione di fede e indagine scientifica.
