The British Arctic Expedition of 1875-6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic and it reached the highest northern latitude to date. The Royal Society compiled instructions for the expedition, and selected two full-time naturalists of whom one, Henry Wemyss Feilden, proved a worthy choice.
Autoren-Porträt
Trevor Levere taught for many years in the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Toronto, where he was twice Director. There he supervised 22 PhD students, beginning in 1968, and ending with the graduation of his final PhD student in 2018. He is now University Professor Emeritus, a Fellow of Victoria College, and a Senior Fellow of Massey College. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, membre effectif de l'Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences (Paris), a Foreign Member of the Koningklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen (Haarlem, NL), and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His first degree was in chemistry, which he studied at New College, Oxford, but he soon moved to the history of chemistry. Although he constantly returns to that field, he has worked in several other areas of the history of science in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Arctic science and science in Canada among them: his numerous books include Science and the Canadian Arctic: A Century of Exploration 1818-1918 (Cambridge, 1993), for which the first stages of research were carried out at the Scott Polar Research Institute and at Clare Hall in Cambridge. He and his wife Jennifer live in Toronto, and also, in July and August, on Garden Island in Lake Ontario, in a summer home which is just big enough to house the three generations of their Canadian family.
