Pliny's "Natural History" is an astonishingly ambitious work

that ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology.

Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers a

fascinating view of the world as it was understood in the first

century AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges,

the first water-clock, or the use of asses' milk to remove

wrinkles. Pliny himself died while investigating the volcanic

eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiosity

that brought about his death is also very much evident in the

"Natural History" - a book that proved highly influential right up

until the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger,

described 'as full of variety as nature itself'.
