Johann Reinhold Forster Boeken

Forster, geboren uit Schotse ouders in Polen, was een Hervormde Calvinistische Predikant en een baanbrekende ornitholoog in Noord-Amerika. Zijn werk combineerde op unieke wijze diepe spirituele overtuiging met een passie voor de natuurlijke wereld. Hij verkende en documenteerde het vogelrijk met zowel wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid als poëtische gevoeligheid, en liet zo een onderscheidende stempel achter op zijn tijd. Forster's veelzijdige bijdragen benadrukken een opmerkelijke fusie van geloof en wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
