About this book
In the late 19th century, the scientific community was abuzz with revolutionary ideas that challenged traditional beliefs about life and evolution. "Haeckel: His Life and Work" by Wilhelm Bölsche delves into the life of Ernst Haeckel, a pivotal figure who popularized concepts such as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and introduced the term "ecology." This biography not only chronicles Haeckel's groundbreaking contributions to evolutionary biology but also examines the societal and philosophical implications of his work. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative illuminates the intersection of science and culture during a transformative era. Discover how Haeckel's insights continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on biology and environmentalism.
