Item Details

Description

1897 Swiss ALPS Mountaineering John Tyndall Hours of Exercise

John Tyndall was a 19th-century Irish naturalist for his travels to Switzerland to study glaciers. His experience in the Alps brought on a co-written work ‘On the Structure and Motion of Glaciers’ with T.H. Huxley. Along with Huxley and Darwin, Tyndall was instrumental in helping the public to accept a modern, scientific approach.

This rare, late 19th-century work, ‘Hours of Exercise in the Alps,’ is one of the few works written solely for the enjoyment and story of mountaineering rather than scientific exploration and experimentation. However, Tyndall’s scientific mind is seen throughout in his accounts of glacier movements, and the route of travel to climb the Weisshorn and the Matterhorn. Complete with illustrations!
