Synopsis

The Autobiography of Joseph Le Conte is a memoir written by Joseph Le Conte, an American geologist, naturalist, and educator who lived in the 19th century. In this book, Le Conte describes his life, from his childhood in Georgia to his career as a scientist and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He also discusses his personal beliefs and experiences, including his religious faith and his views on evolution.Le Conte was a prominent figure in the scientific community during his lifetime, and his autobiography provides insight into the development of scientific thought in America during the 19th century. He was a close friend of John Muir, and the two men shared a passion for the natural world. Le Conte's autobiography is a fascinating account of a life lived at the intersection of science and spirituality, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American science and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor Le Conte and to the reader a few words are necessary as to the origin of the following book and the respective parts of the author and the editor in its preparation. During the illness of his daughter inC alifornia in 1900 Professor Le Conte had many long talks with her about his early experiences and was by her urged to write out an account of them for his family. He was then too busy preparing for a trip abroad to undertake the work; but later in the year, in his old home inC olumbia, S. C., whither he had gone from New York to recuperate from a severe illness that interfered with his plan of visiting Europe, his thoughts reverted to her request, and in this period of enforced leisure he began to write his reminiscences.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
