Aleocharine Rove Beetles of British Columbia: A Hotspot of Canadian Biodiversity (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)
by Jan Klimaszewski E. Richard Hoebeke Benoit Godin Anthony Davies Kayla I. Perry Caroline Bourdon Neville WinchesterAleocharine beetles are among the most poorly known and difficult-to-identify groups of Coleoptera worldwide. This book presents the first comprehensive synopsis of aleocharine rove beetle species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from British Columbia, Canada. It is important to generate a structured inventory of species in hotspots of biodiversity like British Columbia, to provide baseline biodiversity data for monitoring species responses related to climate change. It is the first book to treat and illustrate every recorded and new species. For every species, color illustrations are provided, including color habitus and genital diagnostic structures of both sexes. Two hundred and twenty-seven valid species, including 14 new species, 16 new generic records, and 36 (excluding new species) new provincial and 6 state records, in 79 genera and 14 tribes.Tribes and subtribes are arranged in phylogenetic order as it is currently recognized, and genera and subgenera are listed alphabetically within each tribe or subtribe. Species are listed alphabetically or in species groups to better reflect their relationships. Species distribution is listed by provinces and territories in Canada and states in the United States, and the geographic origin of each species is categorized as native, Holarctic, adventive or undetermined (either adventive or Holarctic). Every species is presented with a morphological diagnosis including external and genital characters of both sexes. Collection and habitat data are presented for each species, including collecting period, and collecting methods. A list of all Canadian species with their currently known distribution in North America is presented at the end of the book.

Alexander von Humboldt: Multiperspective Approaches
by Gregor C. Falk Manfred R. Strecker Simon SchneiderThis book aims to view and to understand Alexander von Humboldt from different perspectives and in varying disciplinary contexts. His contributions addressed numerous topics in the earth but also life sciences—spanning from geo-botany, climatology, paleontology, oceanography, mineralogy, resources, and hydrogeology to links between the environmental impact of humans, erosion, and climate change. From the very beginning, he paved the way for a modern, integrated earth system science approach to decipher, characterize, and model the different forcing factors and their feedback mechanisms. It becomes obvious that Humboldt’s holistic approach is far beyond simple description and empiric data collection. As documented and analyzed in the different texts of this volume, he combines observation and analysis with emotions and subjective perceptions in a very affectionate way. However, this publication does not intend to add another encyclopedic text compilation but to observe and critically analyze this unique personality´s relevance in a modern context, particularly in discussing environmental and social key issues in the twenty-first century.
Alexander von Humboldt: Unveröffentlichte Schriften aus dem Nachlass (edition humboldt print #1)

Alexander von Humboldt: Tagebücher der Amerikanischen Reise: Von Spanien nach Cumaná (edition humboldt print #1)
Der erste Tagebuchband der amerikanischen Reise Alexander von Humboldts gibt Einblicke in die Überfahrt von Europa nach Amerika, den Aufenthalt auf Teneriffa und in das Leben und Arbeiten in Cumaná. In seinem Tagebuch beschreibt Humboldt, wie Klima und Vegetation die Kulturgeschichte des Menschen prägen, und bringt seinen Abscheu gegenüber der Sklaverei zum Ausdruck. Sein Interesse gilt ebenso der tropischen Pflanzen- und Tierwelt wie der Lebensweise der indigenen Bevölkerung. Im Herbst 1799 wird er zudem Zeuge einer Sonnenfinsternis, eines Erdbebens und eines beeindruckenden Meteorschauers. Besonders zu faszinieren vermag sein beständiges Ringen um eine Optimierung der Messmethoden. Sein Ziel ist die Kartierung eines noch weitgehend unerschlossenen Kontinents, und er weiß, dass die enormen Anstrengungen, die er und sein Forschungspartner Aimé Bonpland auf sich nehmen, nur dann gerechtfertigt wären, wenn die erhobenen Daten valide sind. – Der durchgängig kommentierte Text ist in neun Kapitel unterteilt, denen jeweils kleine Einführungen vorangestellt sind.
Alexander von Humboldts Geniestreich: Hintergründe und Folgen seines Briefes an den Herzog von Sussex für die Erforschung des Erdmagnetismus
by Karin Reich Eberhard Knobloch Elena RoussanovaDer Brief, den Alexander von Humboldt am 23. April 1836 an Augustus Frederick, den Herzog von Sussex – damals Präsident der Royal Society of London – richtete, ist wahrscheinlich der wichtigste und der folgenreichste Brief, den der berühmte deutsche Forschungsreisende in seinem Leben verfasst hat. Dieser These gehen die Autoren der vorliegenden Studie nach, zumal die Quellen, Hintergründe und Folgen dieses epochemachenden Briefes bislang nicht im Detail untersucht waren.Humboldt ging es vor allem um den Ausbau und die Erweiterung der erdmagnetischen Forschungen im britischen Empire, was die globale Erforschung dieses rätselhaften Naturphänomens fördern sollte. Er hat sein Schreiben genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt verfasst: Der Brief löste eine Lawine von Forschungsaktivitäten aus. Von Humboldts Initiative profitierte nicht allein Großbritannien, sondern auch Russland, die USA und – was bislang kaum wahrgenommen bzw. herausgestellt wurde – Göttingen, das zum Zentrum der erdmagnetischen Forschungen weltweit avancierte. Die Studie zeigt deutlich, dass Humboldts Brief nur deshalb so überaus erfolgreich sein konnte, weil er sich auf die von Carl Friedrich Gauß und Wilhelm Weber in Göttingen erzielten Forschungen zu stützen vermochte: So war Humboldts Erfolg auch ein Verdienst von Gauß und Weber. Der Brief Humboldts wird in der vorliegenden Monographie erstmals nach der Originalvorlage ediert und auch in deutscher Übersetzung vorgestellt. Ferner werden weitere relevante Dokumente sowohl in Originalsprache als auch in deutscher Übersetzung veröffentlicht. Die Darstellung wird von informativem, historischem Bildmaterial ergänzt. Der Band wendet sich an ein Fach- wie auch an ein wissenschaftshistorisch interessiertes Publikum.

Alfred Wegener: Science, Exploration, and the Theory of Continental Drift
by Mott T. GreeneAlfred Wegener aimed to create a revolution in science which would rank with those of Nicolaus Copernicus and Charles Darwin. After completing his doctoral studies in astronomy at the University of Berlin, Wegener found himself drawn not to observatory science but to rugged fieldwork, which allowed him to cross into a variety of disciplines. The author of the theory of continental drift;¢;‚¬;€?the direct ancestor of the modern theory of plate tectonics and one of the key scientific concepts of the past century;¢;‚¬;€?Wegener also made major contributions to geology, geophysics, astronomy, geodesy, atmospheric physics, meteorology, and glaciology. Remarkably, he completed this pathbreaking work while grappling variously with financial difficulty, war, economic depression, scientific isolation, illness, and injury. He ultimately died of overexertion on a journey to probe the Greenland icecap and calculate its rate of drift. This landmark biography;¢;‚¬;€?the only complete account of the scientist;€™s fascinating life and work;¢;‚¬;€?is the culmination of more than twenty years of intensive research. In Alfred Wegener, Mott T. Greene places Wegener;€™s upbringing and theoretical advances in earth science in the context of his brilliantly eclectic career, bringing Wegener to life by analyzing his published scientific work, delving into all of his surviving letters and journals, and tracing both his passionate commitment to science and his thrilling experiences as a polar explorer, a military officer during World War I, and a world-record;€“setting balloonist. In the course of writing this book, Greene traveled to every place that Alfred Wegener lived and worked;¢;‚¬;€?to Berlin, rural Brandenburg, Marburg, Hamburg, and Heidelberg in Germany; to Innsbruck and Graz in Austria; and onto the Greenland icecap. He also pored over archives in Copenhagen, Munich, Marburg, Graz, and Bremerhaven, where the majority of Wegener;€™s surviving papers are found. Written with great immediacy and descriptive power, Alfred Wegener is a powerful portrait of the scientist who pioneered the modern concept of unified Earth science. The book should be of interest not only to earth scientists, students of polar travel and exploration, and historians but to all readers who are fascinated by the great minds of science.
