Narrative of the Circumnavigation of the Globe by the Austrian Frigate Novara: Volume 3
By:Karl von Scherzer
Published on 2013-06-27 by Cambridge University Press
Joined by seven eminent natural scientists, including Karl von Scherzer (1821-1903), the Austrian naval expedition of 1857-9 was remarkable for its globe-spanning scale. During the course of the voyage, the naturalists collected an abundance of samples which contributed to several scientific discoveries, including the isolation of cocaine in its pure form. Some of the investigations also revolutionised knowledge in such fields as geology, oceanography, hydrography and geomagnetism, and are still being studied by modern-day researchers. Prepared by Scherzer and first published in English in 1861-3, this is a compelling three-volume account of the mission, remaining relevant to scholars interested in naval exploration and the history of science. Volume 3 includes notes on Sydney, Auckland, Tahiti, coastal cities of South and Central America and the journey back to Europe, as well as reflections by the author on the achievements of the expedition.
