Johann Reinhold Forster Livres

Né de parents écossais en Pologne, Forster fut un ministre calviniste réformé et un ornithologue pionnier en Amérique du Nord. Son œuvre a allié de manière unique une profonde conviction spirituelle à une passion pour le monde naturel. Il a exploré et documenté la vie des oiseaux avec une rigueur scientifique et une sensibilité poétique, laissant une marque distinctive de son époque. Les contributions multiples de Forster soulignent une fusion remarquable de la foi et de la recherche scientifique.
