Travels into North America: Containing its Natural History, with the Civil, Ecclesiastical and Commercial State of the Country: Cambridge Library Collection - North American History

Autor Peter Kalm Traducere de John Reinhold Forster
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2011
Peter Kalm (1716–79) was a Finnish-Swedish botanist who travelled extensively to observe the natural world in Sweden, Finland, Russia and Ukraine and became a professor of 'oeconomie', - the economic application of subjects such as mineralogy, botany, zoology and chemistry - at the university of Turku. Between 1747 and 1751 he set out on a journey through eastern North America to gather specimens, especially from regions with a similar climate to Sweden. Because Kalm travelled though the area when much of it was still unknown to Europeans, this work has some of the first recorded accounts of places such as Niagara Falls. Kalm played an important part in forging scientific links between Sweden, England and North America. This three-volume work details his travels, and was first published in English in 1770–1. Volume 3 focuses on Kalm's observations of plants and animals in Canada, especially around the French-speaking settlements.
