David Starr Jordan was a taxonomist, a man possessed with bringing order to the natural world. In time, he would be credited with discovering nearly a fifth of the fish known to humans in his day. When his specimen collections were demolished by lightning, by fire, and eventually by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many might have given up, given in to despair. But Jordan? He surveyed the wreckage at his feet, found the first fish that he recognized, and confidently began to rebuild his collection. And this time, he introduced one clever innovation.

Unexpectedly fascinating read and a charming memoir
Revisado: 01-26-21
This is a book that I was ready to give up on after a few chapters. The life of David Star Jordan and his quest to order the universe seemed compelling. But did I want to learn the ins and outs of his marriages and fishing escapades? No. Nevertheless, I persisted. And it was absolutely worth it! So if you find yourself jaded by David’s story, carry on. The second part of the book is the real gem. Filled with subtly beautiful writing that connects the chaotic pieces of many different stories into one. I loved it.
