We will talk about:

  • Biological classification  
  • If you have a new year's resolution that involves nature, go to my Facebook site for "The Amateur Naturalist" and let us all know.  The more people you tell then the more likely you will stick to it.  My resolution is to lose 20 pounds and I will.  Walk more often and I will. And to get out into nature more often.
  • I discussed Aristotle 
  • I talked about Carl Linnaeus
  • I spoke about R.H. Whitaker
  • I will break down the history of the differing methods from way back to "early man" and then Aristotle
  • I will give the listeners some examples
  • I will suggest that if you really want to learn Biological Classification then pull out a notebook and some paper and jot down some notes so you can see it written down.  It helps....trust me!
