Fritz Müller
A Naturalist in Brazil
by David A. West |
- In Fritz Müller -- A Naturalist in Brazil, West
“shows Müller as son, student, father, teacher, medical
student, émigré, farmer, invertebrate zoologist, botanist,
and as a pioneer researcher in plant growth, pollination
biology, animal behavior, and mimicry” (Duncan M. Porter,
director of the Darwin Correspondence Project).

- This “new biography of Fritz Müller adds another dimension to environmental
history. . . by depicting the fascinating life of the modest yet
indefatigable scientist ... and by illuminating the lively debates and
correspondence among some of the late-nineteenth century's most prominent
scientists... As if homesteading in a tropical forest, raising six daughters,
working as a civil servant for the provincial government, learning
several languages, and teaching mathematics at a Jesuit college were not
enough, Fritz Müller found time to become one of the most important
advocates of Darwinism ...” (H-Net
Review by Mark Carey: formerly of
Department of History, University of California, Davis
