The book presents Louis Agassiz's influential lecture course, where he encapsulates the zoological knowledge of his era. As a prominent scientist, Agassiz, likened to "American Humboldt," emphasizes the social and cultural significance of science, offering a perspective that remains relevant despite the impending challenges posed by Darwin's evolutionary theory. His idealist views provide a unique lens through which to understand the scientific landscape of the 19th century.
