The increasing academic rigour andsystematisation brought to the study of botany, zoology and other disciplines, andtheir adoption in university curricula, are reflected in the books reissued in this series.A Text-Book of BotanyJulius Sachs (1832–97) was an important and influential German botanist. Heattended Charles University in Prague, gaining his doctorate in 1856. Afterappointments in Dresden, Chemnitz and Bonn, he took a professorship at theUniversity of Freiburg in 1867. A year later he accepted a chair at Würzburg, where hestayed for the rest of his career. Sachs made important contributions across botanicalscience, notably in cytology and photosynthesis. He was also largely responsiblefor the leap in understanding of plant physiology that took place in the second halfof the nineteenth century. His famous Textbook of Botany, published here in the1875 English translation of the final German edition (1874), takes the physiologicalapproach that he pioneered and features hundreds of instructive illustrations anda full index. It was the most influential botanical text of its day, and the standardtextbook on the subject for many years. in this web service Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org
