By Stefano Mancuso,Christine Ammann
Da ist George Washington Carver, der als erster Schwarzer an einer Universität studiert und die Amerikaner von der Essbarkeit der Erdnuss überzeugt. Oder Nikolai Wawilow, der Russland durch eine gigantische Samenbank Nahrungssicherheit schenken will – und selbst in einem Gefängnis Stalins verhungert. Darwin entwickelt eine »Theorie zum Wurzelgehirn«; Leonardo da Vinci studiert, wie Blätter Sonnenlicht einfangen; Goethe ist, auf der Suche nach der Urpflanze, dem einheitlichen Organisationsplan des Lebens auf der Spur.
Wahre »Amateure« sind sie alle, die als »liebende Forscher« einen neuen Blick wagten und damit zu Pionieren wurden. Mancusos inspirierende Anthologie der Begeisterung und zugleich selbst ein überzeugendes Plädoyer dafür, die Naturforschung aus den Händen der Molekularbiologen zu erretten.
