Item description from seller

20 S. Erste Ausgabe dieser seltenen Abhandlung der Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg über die Wüsten im Nahen Osten, in Lybien und in Ägypten, als eines der Ergebnisse seiner Reise ans Rote Meer in den 1820er Jahren. Ehrenberg gibt hier auch schon Aufschlüsse über die Wüstenwinde und den damit verbundenen Wüstenstaub. - "Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (19 April 1795 – 27 June 1876) was a German naturalist, zoologist, botanist, comparative anatomist, geologist, and microscopist. He is considered to be one of the most famous and productive scientists of his time. . In 1820–1825, on a scientific expedition to the Middle East with his friend Wilhelm Hemprich, he collected thousands of specimens of plants and animals. He investigated parts of Egypt, the Libyan Desert, the Nile valley and the northern coasts of the Red Sea, where he made a special study of the corals. Subsequently, parts of Syria, Arabia and Abyssinia were examined. Some results of these travels and of the important collections that had been made were reported on by Humboldt in 1826. While in Sudan he designed the mansion of the local governor of Dongola, Abidin Bey. After his return, Ehrenberg published several papers on insects and corals and two volumes Symbolae physicae (1828–1834), in which many particulars of the mammals, birds, insects, etc., were made public. Other observations were communicated to scientific societies" (Wikipedia Abruf vom 10.12.2024). - Etw. gebräunt und fleckig. *** *** Copyright: Matthaeus TRUPPE Buchhandlung & Antiquariat - Stubenberggasse 7 - A-8010 Graz - ++43 (0)316 - 829552 *** *** Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 50.…
