Haeckl was the master in every sense of the word. I think labeling him a fraud would be equivalent to blasphemy in science :) Very good post. Haeckl was the master in every sense of the word.

I wasn't aware of this particular Leo Lionni book, maybe because it is not strictly a children's book. (My kids loved LL when they were younger). He probably emulated 19th century naturalists in creating his imaginary flora. I'll definitely check this out. Thanks.

Cheers, Iddo,
