The Botanists of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, The First 100 Years. A Relevance through Time to Science, Culture and the Environment

This book brings together an anthology of the most illuminating writings of the early botanists from the Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG). SBG is a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 2015. This account presents an anthology of some of the more notable writings of SBG botanists who have contributed in special areas, to plant exploration, the science of botany, economic plant knowledge and development, horticulture, and conservation. It is a ‘snapshot’ in time that could not be regained without the history mentioned. We have come thus far standing on the shoulders of these giants, and may this account inspire botanists to greater heights.
