It's not every evening that we get to feature discussion of a new book by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832), but that is what we get to do this evening—in the person of Seattle University professor and Director of the interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program there. He has written the introduction and taken the stunning photographs that more than illustrate Goethe's The Metamorphosis of Plants (MIT). "Goethe would be delighted with this edition ... It does what he hoped would eventually become possible and provides pictures situated in the text of all the plants to which he refers ... Reading it, I felt that here at last is the complete book, compared to which all previous publications of it seem only like a skeleton. Thanks to Gordon Miller's wonderful photography and careful selection of images, as well as his perceptive introduction, we can now all appreciate the extraordinary nature of Goethe's achievement." - Henri Bortoft.
