Essays on Natural History by Charles Waterton Pdf

Excerpt from Essays on Natural History: Chiefly Ornithology Should it be remarked that I have commented somewhat severely on certain parts of the Bio graphy of Birds, I answer, that I should only have taken as much notice of that work as would have been necessary to prove that the new theory could not be depended upon, had not the partisans of the author given me ample cause of provocation. Had they continued under arms, it was my intention to review the whole of the Biography of Birds, together with the author's Introductory Address. The controversial papers which have appeared on different subjects in Mr. Loudon's Magazine are not included in these Essays. Had mine been introduced, those of my opponents must equally have been admitted, for the sake of perspicuity.

S. Under the titles Science and Scientists, Science or Romance? Evolutionary Philosophy and Common Sense. Although the topics of which they treat are very various, and, it may seem, diverse, they have this in common, that all deal with points raised by the more prominent and dogmatic Evolutionists, whose writings are familiar to the public; whilst the object of all is to show that we have the means ofjudging for ourselves concerning much which we are commonly hidden to accept on the authority of experts.

Cultures and Institutions of Natural History by Michael T. Ghiselin Pdf

Excerpt from Cultures and Institutions of Natural History: Essays in the History and Philosophy of Science This volume consists mainly of papers delivered at two meetings cosponsored by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Milan and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The first, on the Culture of Natural History, was held in Milan, November l4-l 6, I996. The second, on Institutions of Natural History, was held in San Francisco, October 5 - 7, 1998. They followed two earlier conferences on Biology as History (pinna and Ghiselin I996; Ghiselin and Pinna I996) likewise held in Milan and San Francisco. We intend to continue the series of meetings and have publications based on them in commemoration of the Academy's sesquicentennial in 2003. The emphasis here is mainly upon natural history museums and the kind of science that goes on in them. Although the essays were originally written to stand by themselves, when arranged in chronological order they suggest a common theme. To paraphrase Darwin, the culture and institutions of natural history have been, and are being, evolved. They have adapted to local circumstances, diversified, and sometimes even progressed. We may hope that the future holds more than just retrogression and extinction in store. Read as case studies the essays provide valuable insights into not just how, but why, the institutions have come into being and subsequently been transformed. Previous generations had quite different ideas than we do about how a collection of naturalia is supposed to function and how it should be organized. And there were con icting goals and serious disputes about policy, much as there are today. Often, though not always, the institutions turn out to be very different from what had been envisioned by their founders.

Essays on Museums by William Henry Flower Pdf

Excerpt from Essays on Museums: And Other Subjects Connected With Natural History Having lately, during an enforced period of restraint from active occupation, had leisure to look back upon the events of a somewhat busy life, it occurred to me that besides the administration, in succession, of two large public museums, and some original scientific investigation, the results of which can be of interest only to the very few, there have been occa sions which have involved a contact with wider and more varied circles. Though the records of these occasions have doubtless been mainly of passing or local concern, it is possible that some thing may be found among them worth placing in a more accessible and permanent form than in the scattered journals or pamphlets in which they can only be found at present. Such of these essays and addresses as seemed suitable for republication in the present collection mainly group them selves under three distinct branches of the many into which the intellectual and educational activity of our age is manifested.

Landscape in History: And Other Essays (Classic Reprint) by Archibald Geikie Pdf

Excerpt from Landscape in History: And Other Essays Among the obscure problems in the history of mankind a foremost place must be given to the question of the origin and distribution of the various races of men. Undoubtedly two main factors in the differentiation of these races have been climate and geography. These same physical conditions still perpetuate, if they did not actually originate, the racial distinctions. Even where we may hesitate to adopt a theory as to the initial start of any one of the great branches of mankind, we can hardly fail to recognise that the several nations or tribes comprised within one of these branches are marked off from each other by more or less definite peculiarities, of which some at least may probably be referred to the influence of environment.
