Description: W. Ford Doolittle reviews 'The Variety of Life: A Survey and a Celebration of All the Creatures That Have Ever Lived' by Colin Tudge
A British science writer surveys the vast taxonomic array of flora and fauna. A Survey and a Celebration of All the Creatures That Have Ever Lived. aming animals and plants is surely an ancient activity: there is much selective value in recognizing creatures that are similar to others we already know from experience to be edible or noxious, docile or hostile. In ''The Variety of Life,'' Colin Tudge, a very energetic British science writer, has produced a great wodge of a book that attempts to explain and make interesting the whole enterprise of taxonomy (or systematics), the scientific practice that has biological classification as its object.
