| Publisher Description: In the 1800s, naturalists and scientists were not highly regarded by ordinary folks. Louis Agassiz's father believed it better for him to remain a farmer or become a bookkeeper or doctor. Young Agassiz had a dream to study nature. He did not give up easily. With the help of his sisters, he was able to attend the University of Heidelberg to work on a medical degree. Along with his medical studies, Louis learned all he could about animals, plants, and fossils. This book is an inspiring story about Naturalist Louis Agassiz. Agassiz is known for his regimen of observational data gathering and analysis. The book shows how he made vast institutional and scientific contributions to zoology, geology, and related areas, including writing multivolume research books running to thousands of pages, include his contributions to ichthyological classification, including extinct species such as megalodon, and to the study of geological history, including the founding of glaciology. |
