Gottfried Dietrich Wilhelm Berthold (1854-1937) was one the foremost botanists and phycologists at the end of the 19th century. Born and educated in Westphalia, he enrolled at the Georgia Augusta to study plant sciences and focused on algae. After research stays at the Zoological Station at Naples he succeeded his mentor Johannes Reinke on his chair at the Institute of Plant Physiology at the Georgia Augusta Göttingen until 1923. In this study we focus on the biography of Berthold, his private and scientific life, interaction with J. Reinke and other topics related to the life of Berthold. In a second part we highlight his research on algae at the Gulf of Naples. We conclude with an evaluation of his scientific work in the light of the different phases in his life including a full bibliography of his scientific publications. Our study contributes to history of science at the Georgia Augusta.

Carolus Clusius was een van de belangrijkste botanici uit de zestiende eeuw. Met zijn vele reizen, onderzoek en publicaties droeg hij bij aan de kennis van de exotische en lokale flora.

Brotero é apresentado neste livro como um cientista muito marcado pelos anos que viveu em Paris e pela oportunidade que aí teve de conhecer cientistas como Daubenton, Antoine de Jussieu, Buffon e Lamarck. O prestígio internacional de Brotero é reconhecido por eminentes botânicos contemporâneos, ao atribuírem o seu nome a diversas espécies vegetais. As boas relações internacionais que construiu acabarão por lhe granjear o apoio necessário para a execução de algumas das suas obras em Portugal. Sem este apoio, talvez não tivesse conseguido enfrentar muitas adversidades, nomeadamente as contradições mesquinhas que dominavam o meio académico português.

Through the pioneering efforts of ecologist B. W. Wells (1884-1978), thousands of North Carolinians learned to appreciate and protect the state's diverse plant life long before ecology and conservation became popular causes. A keen observer of the natural landscape, Wells provided the first scientific descriptions in modern terms of the forces that shaped coastal communities, bogs and savannahs, the Carolina bays, pine forests, old fields, and mountain grassy balds. But the broader impact of his life lay in his championship and popularization of nature. Outside academic circles,
