"Lehrbuch der Botanik für Hochschulen" by Strasburger, Noll, Schenck, and Schimper is a botanical textbook first published in 1894.

The textbook has been translated into multiple languages and remains a standard reference today.
Streifzüge an der Riviera
"Streifzüge an der Riviera" by Eduard Strasburger is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The work offers a vivid exploration of the Riviera's landscapes and nature during the 1890s, reflecting on the beauty and sensations experienced by the author as he journeys through this picturesque region. Strasburger's admiration for the flora, local culture, and natural scenery of the Mediterranean hangs at the center of the narrative. The opening of the travelogue sets a contemplative tone, beginning with the author's reflections penned during a cold winter in Germany, yearning for the warmth and beauty of the Riviera. He describes the contrast between the dreary winter weather and the vibrant scenes awaiting him at the Mediterranean. Through detailed observations, he paints a vivid picture of the Riviera, mentioning rain-soaked landscapes and the eventual arrival of spring, which brings renewal and beauty. The descriptions of the flora, particularly during Easter in Bordighera, highlight the breathtaking natural beauty of the region as well as the author’s emotional response as he experiences the reawakening of life and color around him. Throughout the introductory chapters, the reader is invited to find joy and inspiration in both the author’s personal journey and the exquisite beauty of the Riviera.
