Dieses Buch lohnt sich besonders für die vielen Illustrationen, immer wieder bleibt einem der Blick lange an einer alten Darstellung eines Tieres hängen, oder man verliert sich in der Bild-für-Bild Verwandlung von "Frosch zu Mensch" in Kupferstichen. Es zeigt auch, wie der menschliche Ordnungsdrang manchmal zu echt absurden Ergebnissen führt. Der Text begleitet einen dabei gut, beschreibt veraltete Herangehensweisen an die Klassifizierung von Flora und Fauna und wirkt nie langweilig. Manchmal hätte ich mir aber noch mehr Kontext und Tiefe gewünscht.
