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 ...” (Mark Carey: Department of History, University of California, Davis
