Summary "In sloot en plas" by Eli Heimans and Jac. P. Thijsse is an informative work on natural history written in the late 19th century. This publication appears to blend elements of education and exploration, focusing on the aquatic life found in Dutch waterways, particularly the fascinating world of water insects and plants. The authors aim to inspire curiosity and a deeper understanding of the biosphere surrounding readers. The opening of the book sets the stage for a vibrant depiction of Amsterdam in the 17th century, where the apothecary Swammerdam captures the attention of curious onlookers with his innovative aquarium display filled with live water creatures. Among the intrigued spectators is a young boy named Antony van Leeuwenhoek, who becomes fascinated by the intricate life forms he observes. As the narrative unfolds, the authors provide educational insights into the behaviors and lifecycles of various aquatic species while highlighting Leeuwenhoek's budding interest in natural observation, foreshadowing his future significance in the field of microbiology.
