Hewett Cottrell Watson (eBook, ePUB)

Victorian Plant Ecologist and Evolutionist

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This title was first published in 2003. Hewett Cottrell Watson was a pioneer in a new science not yet defined in Victorian times - ecology - and was practically the first naturalist to conduct research on plant evolution, beginning in 1834. His achievement in British science is commemorated by the fact that the Botanical Society of the British Isles named its journal after him - Watsonia - but of greater significance to the history of science is his contribution to the development of Darwin's theory of evolution.
