Victorian botanist, plant collector, surveyor, and artist Sir Joseph Hooker was one of Charles Darwin's closest collaborators. Using extracts from his letters home, his Himalayan Journals , and his own and others extensive illustrations, Desmond (formerly with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) describes Hooker's exploration of the Antarctic, India, East Nepal, the Middle East, North Africa, and other regions, concluding with his presidency of the Royal Society, knighthood, and later work.
