Bøker av Georgius Everhardus Rumphius

G.E. Rumphius was one of the great tropical naturalists of the 17th century. This work was published posthumously in Dutch in 1705. A classic text of natural history, it covers the gamut of organisms found in the seas surrounding Ambon, including crabs, shrimp, mussels and minerals.

Over the course of five decades, the seventeenth-century naturalist Georgius Everhardus Rumphius assiduously gathered information on the native plants of Ambon Island and its archipelago. This book surveys the Indonesian economic and medicinal uses of the plants Rumphius described.
