		Banks, a wealthy landowner turned botanist and natural historian, had influence and connections around the world.
		Enjoying the scope this affords him, O'Brian digresses quite freely, whether to follow some of the explorers and naturalists in whose careers Banks played a role, such as Matthew Flinders, William Bligh, or Robert Brown, or to recount a brief episode in the history of Iceland in which he was peripherally involved.
		Liberal selections from Banks' journals and letters and those of his acquaintances give us a direct connection with him, and at the end one is left feeling almost like an intimate.

		Joseph Banks's name is attached to various plant species around the world; he was President of the Royal Society, a Privy Councillor and adviser to the English government on a range of scientific and imperial issues.
		Yet there are few monuments to him, and while he has been the subject of a number of biographies, these have been focused on his personal career rather than his relations to some of the movements of the period.
		Like Francis Bacon, Bank's importance lies not in his own scientific contributions-which were few and slight-but rather in his ability to publicise the possibilities of science when linked with sympathetic patrons, particularly government.
