PRAISE FOR TINKERING WITH EDEN "You really can't fool Mother Nature, as Kim Todd vividly shows in her fascinating, cautionary first book."-- The New York Times Book Review "Todd uncovers a Greek tragedy of human heedlessness . . . [A] beautifully written natural history."-- Outside, PRAISE FOR TINKERING WITH EDEN "You really can't fool Mother Nature, as Kim Todd vividly shows in her fascinating, cautionary first book."-- The New York Times Book Review "Todd uncovers a Greek tragedy of human heedlessness . . . [A] beautifully written natural history."-- Outside, PRAISE FOR CHRYSALIS "Todd's book is a portrait of the metamorphosis of an age, a society, and a woman whose passion to see the world through the metaphor of moths and butterflies would not abate. The illustrations reproduced in this fine biography affirm Merian's vision; the range of Todd's research and the eloquence of her writing give that vision voice."--Maurice Manning, BookForum "In this spellbinding biography, Todd interweaves the life of Maria Sibylla Merian, a German artist and naturalist who became famous in the seventeenth century for her engravings of caterpillars, with the intellectual and scientific history of metamorphosis."-- The New Yorker, PRAISE FOR TINKERING WITH EDEN "You really can't fool Mother Nature, as Kim Todd vividly shows in her fascinating, cautionary first book."--The New York Times Book Review "Todd uncovers a Greek tragedy of human heedlessness . . . [A] beautifully written natural history."--Outside

Synopsis
Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Merian. An artist turned naturalist known for her botanical illustrations, she was born just sixteen years after Galileo proclaimed that the earth orbited the sun. But at the age of fifty she sailed from Europe to the New World on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis--an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. When she returned she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the nineteenth century by scientists who disdained the work of "amateurs." Exquisitely written and illustrated, " Chrysalis" takes us from golden-age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian's insights fuel a new branch of biology. Kim Todd brings to life a seventeenth-century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today., Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Merian.
