This biography is the first extensive and valuable tribute to the German pharmacist Friedrich (Frederick) Hoffmann who emigrated to the USA in 1861. The detailed representation of his life and work is based on comprehensive research in Germany and the US, which led to the evaluation of archival material, so far untouched. The analysis of the German language Pharmaceutische Rundschau which Hoffmann published up until 1895 in New York, is an in depth contribution to the history of pharmaceutical publications. Plenty of timely photographs and illustrations offer multiple insights into US pharmacy of that time and simultaneously shed light on the influence and problems of German immigrants in the second half of the 19th century.

Mit dieser Biographie erfährt der 1861 in die USA ausgewanderte deutsche Apotheker Friedrich Hoffmann erstmals eine umfassende und angemessene Würdigung. Die detaillierte Darstellung seines Lebens und Werkes beruht auf umfangreichen Recherchen in Deutschland und den USA, durch die bis dahin unbearbeitetes Archivmaterial zur Auswertung kam. Die Analyse der von Hoffmann in New York bis 1895 herausgegebenen deutschsprachigen 'Pharmaceutischen Rundschau' liefert darüber hinaus einen instruktiven Beitrag zur Geschichte des pharmazeutischen Zeitschriftenwesens. Reich bebildert bietet das Buch somit vielfältige Einblicke in die damalige US-Pharmazie und beleuchtet zugleich exemplarisch Einfluß und Probleme deutscher Einwanderer in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts.
