From Despair to Discovery
The first book-length biography of Matthias Jakob Schleiden in English. The career of Matthias Jakob Schleiden, who was to transform botany into a rigorous scientific discipline, began with a gunshot. As a youth he had loved art and learning languages, and was not sure what he should do with his life. Under pressure from his parents, he had gone to law school in 1824 and returned to his hometown. Now, four years later, his practice was failing, and everything seemed hopeless. In despair, he shot himself in the head.

April 1804 wurde Matthias Jacob Schleiden ge boren, ein Mann, der es wohl verdient, daß wir uns an seinem hundertsten Geburtstage seiner erinnern, da er wie wenig andere den Naturwissenschaften zu dem großen Aufschwung verhelfen hat, den sie im neunzehnten Jahrhundert genommen haben. Seine Leistungen bestanden nicht so sehr in den Entdeckungen, die er in seinem Spezialgebiete, der Botanik, gemacht hat, als viel mehr in der richtigen Methode der Forschung, die er in die Botanik und damit auch in die andern beschreibenden Natur wissenschaften zuerst wieder eingeführt hat, nachdem die so genannte Naturphilosophie im Anfa...
