Sir Joseph Banks was many things: explorer, official botanist on James Cook's first circumnavigation, the longest-serving president of the Royal Society, advisor to King George III, the 'father of Australia', and the man who established Kew as the world's leading botanical garden. Put simply, he was integral to the English Englightenment. And yet he has long stood in the shadows. Now Toby Musgrave sheds light on Banks's profound impact on Britain, science and the modern age.
