This revised edition, sanctioned by his widow and issued three years after his death, includes minor textual corrections and a much improved index. Equally notable both as scientist and mountaineer, Tyndall transformed his scientific interest in mountains into a keen appreciation of their beauty and pleasures. His most famous climb is probably the first ascent of the Weisshorn, but he was also a contender for the first ascent of the Matterhorn. In July 1862 (with Johann Bennen) he reached the main shoulder, only to be defeated by a deep cleft. Neate 836.

Text bright and crisp. Tyndall was seized by the mountains, and he became one of the most intrepid and resolute of explorers (among other feats of climbing, he was the first to ascend the Weissborn [1861]). He and his wife Louisa (daughter of Lord Claud Hamilton) maintained a cottage on Bel Alp above the Rhone valley. Tyndall's observations on glacier motion brought him into acute conflict with ot her scientists, though it was he who identified the essential principles and causes of glacier motion. John Tyndall was born in Ireland in poor circumstances. He was a remarkable self-made man of scie nce. "With Darwin and Huxley his name is inseparably connected with the battle which began in the middle of the 19th century for making the new standpoint of modern science part of the accepted philos o phy in general life. For many years indeed, he came to represent to ordinary Englishmen the typical or ideal professor of physics. His strong, picturesque mode of seizing and expressing things gave him an immense living influence both in speech and writing, and disseminated a popular knowledge of physical science such as had not previously existed. But besides being a true educator, and perhaps the greatest popular teacher of natural philosophy in his generation, he was an ear nest and original observer and explorer of nature" -- 11th Ed. EB. This (first?) American edition is an outgrowth of his enormously successful lecture tour of America (1872-3). That trip earned him many thousands of dollars, but he would touch none of it. He placed it instead in the hands of trustees, and directed that it be used for the advancement of American science. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140
