内容説明

A study of the life of the great palaeontologist, Louis Agassiz, written by his American wife, Elizabeth. Containing correspondence between Agassiz and other great men of science including Georges Cuvier, Friedrich Heinrich Humboldt, Charles Lyell, Hugh Miller and Richard Owen, this two-volume work offers an intriguing insight into the life and times of one of the "founding fathers" of American natural history. The work is more than just a labour of love by someone who knew him well; it is a workmanlike study which will ensure that the papers and documents detailing his influential scientific discoveries are preserved. It is a testament to a great scientific mind and popularizer of science. This resource should be of interest to scholars of natural history and evolutionary thought, and historians of biology. The volume includes frontispiece portraits.
