Description

Natural History of Fishes - M.E. Bloch (Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische). Bloch (1782-1795). Annotated eBook Edition.


Many rare and beautiful historical books are kept in climatized rooms of libraries. Very safe but inaccessible! With support of NBBI ETI BioInformatics republished some of these magnificent works as e-books to make them available for use on computers and mobile devices. Marcus Elieser Bloch’s “Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische” is an unique publication and still a standard work for fish taxonomy and a must-have for scientists working in this field of zoology. Among other early authors Bloch stands out by restricting his work almost entirely to species that he had examined personally, by his detailed descriptions, and by the fact that all his species are splendidly illustrated. Bloch’s work covers some 500 species, including 267 presented as new to science or needing new names, many of which are still valid and in general use. For this digital edition Dr I.J.H. Isbrücker compared the hand-coloured plates and accompanying text with modern nomenclature and resolved errors and inaccuracies. This greatly improved the usefulness of this rare volume. Every plate is now available in digital form, with both the original and recent scientific name of the species illustrated. The Artis Library, University of Amsterdam, is proud of this work and pleased to make it accessible in this way to the general public.
