Nature’s art
In earlier times, the sciences were studied in close relation to one another. Although we have been assiduously separating scientific fields… their links are more important now than ever before. And those who observe these links – Rachel Carson and Penny Olsen, the Cayleys, Mueller and the botanical artists of his time – are becoming as interesting to us as the birds and plants and environmental issues that have focussed their attention. What draws them and us to nature?
