Bibliographia Zoologiae Et Geologiae: Volume 3 - A General Catalogue of All Books, Tracts, Memoirs on Zoology Geology

Klappentext Born in Switzerland, Louis Agassiz (1807-73) distinguished himself as one of the most capable and industrious naturalists of the nineteenth century, working in fields as diverse as ichthyology and glaciology. In the late 1840s, he moved to North America, where he became a professor of zoology at Harvard and established the Museum of Comparative Zoology. His extensive bibliography of all known works relating to zoology and geology, which he had compiled for private use, was revised and substantially expanded by the English naturalist Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811-53) and published by the Ray Society in four volumes between 1848 and 1854. As such, it stands as the fullest record of the existing scientific literature just prior to the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species. Volume 3 (1853) continues the list of works, arranged alphabetically by author, ranging here from Gabelchover to Mylne. Zusammenfassung Compiled by the eminent naturalist, geologist and palaeontologist Louis Agassiz (1807–73) and expanded by H. E. Strickland (1811–53), this four-volume catalogue, published between 1848 and 1854, provides an extensive list of the zoological and geological literature available just prior to the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species.
