摘要:
A series of vivid portraits of determined - even obsessed - scientists, showing that we are not even close to knowing all life on earth. We are not close to naming it, studying it, not even close to knowing the basic kinds of organisms. How much is left to know? If history is a lesson, there is more left to know than we have yet discovered.
