Friedrich Strack was born at Roßleben monastery where his father, Friedrich Benignus Ludwig Strack was rector. He studied theology at Leipzig in 1799 and became a preacher from 1804. He taught in Halle from 1806 and at the Gymnasium at Wertheim from 1810. In 1814 he became professor of natural history at Düsseldorf and then headed a preschool in Bremen from 1817. He is best known for the illustrated (artist unknown) natural history book Naturgeschichte in Bildern mit erlauterdem (Illustrations of natural history with explanations). The four volumes, issued between 1819 and 1826, are devoted in turn to mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and fishes.[1]

gollark: I have no idea if you *need* it here, but university is quite popular.
gollark: I think that might be allowed too, actually? But you need to be in some sort of training thing.
gollark: You are not, apparently, legally allowed to do full-time work until you're 18, and must be in education/training of some kind.
gollark: It looks simpler than your diagram, although I suppose that covers all school stuff while I'm only talking about my specific school and there are other options like vocational training of some kind.
gollark: My school has some convoluted thing where for A-level (high school, ish), as well as the regular 3 A-levels, you *also* have to do two of these three options:- EPQ i.e. a big independent-research-y project- a bunch of 3-month nonexamined "carousel" courses about random stuff like sign language and cooking and photography- a "complementary studies" course, which is *either* a nonexamined random thing or something like one AS-level*or* a fourth A-level.
