Content
Veel vogelaars kennen Steller van de vogelsoorten die naar hem genoemd zijn, waaronder Stellers eider en Stellers zeearend. Maar wie was hij? Georg Wilhelm Steller was een Duitse geleerde in Russische dienst die in 1741 als eerste bioloog landde in Alaska, dat tot 1867 Russisch was. Op de thuisreis sloeg het noodlot toe. Verzwakt door scheurbuik leed de expeditie schipbreuk op een onbewoond eiland. Tijdens dit onvrijwillige verblijf beschreef Steller onder andere de reusachtige zeekoeien, waarmee hij wereldfaam verwierf. Helaas werden deze spoedig uitgeroeid. Uiteindelijk wisten de overlevende zeelieden Kamtsjatka te bereiken. Voor hij terug kon keren naar Sint-Petersburg stierf Steller, belasterd door tegenstanders en gemangeld door de Russische bureaucratie, in de eindeloze verten van Siberië. Geleerden als Pallas en Linnaeus maakten zijn ontdekkingen wereldkundig en streken de eer op voor zijn pionierswerk. Deze uitgave bevat Stellers dagboek van de ontdekkingsreis naar Alaska, fragmenten uit zijn werk over zeezoogdieren, en passages uit zijn Beschrijving van Kamtsjatka. Mark Nieuwenhuis (1968) is docent Latijn en vertaler van Latijnse literatuur. Vogels kijken doet hij al zijn hele leven. Nu zijn boek over Steller is voltooid, gaat hij Stellers eider eindelijk eens opzoeken in zijn overwinteringsgebied.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
