William Turner The Father of English Botany, by Marie Addyman
This book, published in 2008, is an enthralling and comprehensive introduction to the life and achievements of William Turner, who was born in Morpeth in 1508. It covers the three main passions of Turner's life - religion, medicine and, of course, botany. The tumultuous reign of four Tudor Monarchs sets the scene for a life of travel and the continuous study of plants.
