Reading the Shape of Nature vividly recounts the turbulent early history of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard and the contrasting careers of its founder Louis Agassiz and his son Alexander. Through the story of this institution and the individuals who formed it, Mary P. Winsor explores the conflicting forces that shaped systematics in the second half of the nineteenth century. Debates over the philosophical foundations of classification, details of taxonomic research, the young institution's financial struggles, and the personalities of the men most deeply involved are all brought to life. In 1859, Louis Agassiz established the Museum of Comparative Zoology to house research on the ideal types that he believed were embodied in all living forms. Agassiz's vision arose from his insistence that the order inherent in the diversity of life reflected divine creation, not organic evolution. But the mortar of the new museum had scarcely dried when Darwin's Origin was published. By Louis Agassiz's death in 1873, even his former students, including his son Alexander, had defected to the evolutionist camp. Alexander, a self-made millionaire, succeeded his father as director and introduced a significantly different agenda for the museum. To trace Louis and Alexander's arguments and the style of science they established at the museum, Winsor uses many fascinating examples that even zoologists may find unfamiliar. The locus of all this activity, the museum building itself, tells its own story through a wonderful series of archival photographs.

Excerpt from The Foundations of Zoology a Course of Lectures In this course of lectures I shall give, on many questions, the Scotch verdict of "not proven," and experience warns us that this will be interpreted as an assertion that they are proved or disproved, although no one can, in justice, interpret an admission that a thesis may some time be proved or disproved as belief that either of these things will come about, or as an admission of anything else except a suspension of judgment, for all must hold it the height of folly to found a scientific opinion on lack of evidence. If I sometimes speak of things that are not commonly held to fall within the province of zoology, - if I try now and then for soundings in waters which able pilots tell us are far out of the course of our ship, - I hope they who follow me to the end of our voyage will admit that I have not wandered from our true course; although it may be well to show now, by way of introduction, how it is that zoologists find themselves face to face with many problems which other men of science have agreed to lay aside as insoluble or irrelevant. I shall try to show that life is response to the order of nature - in fact, this thesis is the text of most of the lectures; but if it be admitted, it follows that biology is the study of response, and that the study of that order of nature to which response is made is as well within its province as the study of the living organism which responds, for all the knowledge we can get of both these aspects of nature is needed as a preparation for the study of that relation between them which constitutes life.
