Many of these drawings found their way into his illustrated publications, most of which were published posthumously. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book provides a concise yet comprehensive portrait of Aldrovandi, paying particular attention to two aspects: the role that the newly discovered continent of America played in his research interests, and his study of abnormalities of physiological development in organisms.
