An ambitious and meticulously researched biography, this title details the life of famed scientist François Péron-from his early years spent in the French revolutionary army to an ambitious medical student who gained a place as an assistant zoologist on Nicolas Baudin’s expedition to Australian waters. Discussing the expedition-which was famously marked by the vexed relationship between Péron and Baudin-this life story tells of Péron’s profound achievements, including the pioneering observations in zoological, oceanographic, and ethnographic studies.
