Many of the scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century were first reported in the journal Nature. A Century of Nature brings together in one volume Nature's greatest hits—reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks.

Excerpt from Science Progress in the Twentieth Century, Vol. 7: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific Work and Thought; July 1912 to April 1913 The publication Of a third edition Of Sir G. H. Darwin's well known semi-popular book on the Tides 1 affords an Opportunity Of forming an estimate Of the advances that have been made in recent years in knowledge concerning all those geophysical phenomena which either are directly due to the forces that cause the tides or share with these direct effects some feature rendering them amenable to discussion by similar methods. Sir G. H. Darwin is the greatest living authority on these questions and the fact that nearly one quarter Of the third edition Of his book is either added or rewritten is sufficient evidence that substantial advance has been made. This advance is not confined to the theory but extends also to the methods Of Observation and the devising Of suitable instruments, besides including a very great increase in the mass of records that are available for the comparison Of theoretical results with Observed facts. On the purely Observational Side, perhaps the greatest novelty is to be found in the beginning Of actual measurements Of the range of the tide in the open sea. On the purely theoretical Side, the modifications Of Laplace's nebular hypothesis which have been suggested by various writers are specially attractive. But the advances that Will prove most interesting to many readers have been made by combining theoretical con siderations with Observational results in regard to several groups Of phenomena from which conclusions have been drawn as to the_interna1 constitution Of the Earth. We propose to consider these matters in order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Science Progress in the Twentieth Century, 1906-1907, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific Thought We may pass hurriedly over Commercial Law, merely remarking that the brief course, which is all there will be time for, should come towards the end of the period of study, and that it will not aim at anything so foolish as to make a man his own lawyer. So far we have remained on the circumference of the subject; we have not yet penetrated to the centre, which is the training of the judgment to deal with the actual problems of commercial life. We approach more closely to the essential purpose we have in mind when we come to the subject of Accounting.

The distinction between basic and applied research was central to twentieth-century science and policymaking, and if this framework has been contested in recent years, it nonetheless remains ubiquitous in both scientific and public discourse. Employing a transnational, diachronic perspective informed by historical semantics, this volume traces the conceptual history of the basic–applied distinction from the nineteenth century to today, taking stock of European developments alongside comparative case studies from the United States and China. It shows how an older dichotomy of pure and applied science was reconceived in response to rapid scientific progress and then further transformed by the geopolitical circumstances of the postwar era.

Historically, the scientific method has been said to require proposing a theory, making a prediction of something not already known, testing the prediction, and giving up the theory (or substantially changing it) if it fails the test. A theory that leads to several successful predictions is more likely to be accepted than one that only explains what is already known but not understood. This process is widely treated as the conventional method of achieving scientific progress, and was used throughout the twentieth century as the standard route to discovery and experimentation. But does science really work this way? In Making 20th Century Science, Stephen G. Brush discusses this question, as it relates to the development of science throughout the last century. Answering this question requires both a philosophically and historically scientific approach, and Brush blends the two in order to take a close look at how scientific methodology has developed. Several cases from the history of modern physical and biological science are examined, including Mendeleev's Periodic Law, Kekule's structure for benzene, the light-quantum hypothesis, quantum mechanics, chromosome theory, and natural selection. In general it is found that theories are accepted for a combination of successful predictions and better explanations of old facts. Making 20th Century Science is a large-scale historical look at the implementation of the scientific method, and how scientific theories come to be accepted.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, engagement with science was commonly used as an emblem of modernity. This phenomenon is now attracting increasing attention in different historical specialties. Being Modern builds on this recent scholarly interest to explore engagement with science across culture from the end of the nineteenth century to approximately 1940. Addressing the breadth of cultural forms in Britain and the western world from the architecture of Le Corbusier to working class British science fiction, Being Modern paints a rich picture. Seventeen distinguished contributors from a range of fields including the cultural study of science and technology, art and architecture, English culture and literature examine the issues involved. The book will be a valuable resource for students, and a spur to scholars to further examination of culture as an interconnected web of which science is a critical part, and to supersede such tired formulations as 'Science and culture'.

Excerpt from Science Progress in the Twentieth Century, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Journal of Scientific Work and Thought; July 1910 to April 1911 The simpler name star map is here applied to the chart generally known as the Astrographic Chart, because this latter conveys a suggestion Of technicality which is absent from the project. What astronomers in different parts of the world are really about is the making of a large and much more detailed map Of the stars than has hitherto been produced. The map is being made by photography; but though the word astrographic has been coined for use when photo graphy is applied to the stars, the work does not involve much technicality that is not familiar to the users of an ordinary Kodak. In three details only does the work of the astronomer differ from that of the amateur photographer: he uses a much longer camera; he drives the camera by clockwork so that it may follow the stars; and he takes pictures at night instead of in the daytime. It may perhaps be added that he uses the light emitted by the stars, instead of photographing objects by the reflected light of the sun. But of these details more presently.
