Excerpt:
All of these books are published here for common benefit, to help students of biology and teachers in learning and research, there is basically no commercial interest and the pages are free from any advertisements. To further enlarge this collection I am mostly dependent on unpaid work done by friends and helpers. All coauthors are acknowledged within the individual texts.
Annotation:
Kurt Stuber, a professor at the Max-Planck-Institute, has scanned 34 historical biology works into this website. Though the texts are in various formats (some are simply images while others are searchable texts) the navigation tools allow for quick movement from page to page and back to the index. Most of these works are in German and by German authors (many of Haeckel's works are here) though there are a few English texts by non-German biologists, most notably Charles Darwin and Maxwell Tylden Masters' "Vegetable Teratology." Scholars of nineteenth century botany or in need of botanical images will find this site particularly useful.
