What reading level is Alexander Agassiz: His Life And Scientific Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
S. S. "Blake," and three in the Pacific in the U. S. S. "Albatross." These dealt especially with the deep-sea, and yielded an immense number of new organisms and new observations concerning the physical, chemical, biological, and geological conditions of the great ocean basins. Agas- siz, being a practical engineer, was able to suggest many improve- ments in deep-sea instruments and methods; the wire rope for dredging and a modified trawl for deep-sea work were among these improvements. The gen...eral account of the Atlantic expeditions is published in two volumes entitled "Three Cruises of the "Blake," and the general accounts of the Pacific expeditions are to be found in the Bulletins and Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
It would be difficult to overestimate the value of the zoological and other collections amassed during these most excellent and extensive explorations.
If we can say that we now know the physical and biological condi- tions of the great ocean basins in their broad general outlines — and I believe we can do so — the present state of our knowledge is due to the combined work and observations of a great many men belonging to many nationalities, but most probably more to the work and inspiration of Alexander Agassiz than to any other single man.
