The Progressive Ages, or the Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature by H. L. Harvey Pdf

Excerpt from The Progressive Ages, or the Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature It seems very natural for us, in this age of the world, to overestimate the value of man's acquirements, knowledge and progress in the arts and sciences and in the hidden secrets of nature. This age is so vastly superior to former ages in advantages, that many seem to think that man has reached his highest perfection of knowledge. But this cannot be true, for something must yet remain to learn, no matter what the extent of his knowledge. We do live, truly, in an enlightened age. For six thousand years man has existed on the earth, and has continued to progress, so that we have before us the inventions and discoveries of preceding ages; and on this foundation our knowledge is built. But have the great discoveries all been made? And is there no room for further progress? If we believe those who are capable of knowing, we shall find that in their opinion we are just entering the great age of discoveries, and that man's knowledge, compared with what remains to be known, is infinitely small.

A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History (Classic Reprint) by William Swainson Pdf

Excerpt from A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural History (1.) To form a just estimate of the relative position of any science at a given period, it is necessary that the prominent events in its history be rightly understood. It seems, therefore, expedient to commence this discourse with a slight sketch of the rise and progress of zoological science; or, more properly, of the progressive discovery of the forms, structures, and habits belonging to the animal world; a world replete with such an infinity of beings, each possessing so many peculiarities of habit and economy, that, notwithstanding the united efforts of human research for thousands of years, there is not one of them whose history, as yet, can be pronounced complete. (2.) The vast and diversified field of enquiry over which zoology extends, and the many distinct portions into which it is now distributed, render it extremely difficult to embrace the whole in one general exposition.

The Age of Science by Gerard Piel Pdf

When historians of the future come to examine western civilization in the twentieth century, one area of intellectual accomplishment will stand out above all others; more than any other era before it, the twentieth century was an age of science. Not only were the practical details of daily life radically transformed by the application of scientific discoveries, but our very sense of who we are, how our minds work, how our world came to be, how it works and our proper role in it, our ultimate origins, and our ultimate fate were all influenced by scientific thinking as never before in human history. In the Age of Science, the former editor and publisher of Scientific American gives us a sweeping overview of the scientific achievements of the twentieth century, with chaers on the fundamental forces of nature, the subatomic world, cosmology, the cell and molecular biology, earth history and the evolution of life, and human evolution. Beautifully written and illustrated, this is a book for the connoisseur; an elegant, informative, magisterial summation of one of the twentieth century's greatest cultural achievements.

A Natural History of the Future by Rob Dunn Pdf

"An arresting vision of this relentless natural world"—New York Times Book Review A leading ecologist argues that if humankind is to survive on a fragile planet, we must understand and obey its iron laws Our species has amassed unprecedented knowledge of nature, which we have tried to use to seize control of life and bend the planet to our will. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life’s overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life’s future flourishing is not in question. Ours is. As ambitious as Edward Wilson’s Sociobiology and as timely as Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction, A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.

Beyond War by Vernon Lyman Kellog Pdf

Excerpt from Beyond War: A Chapter in the Natural History of Man They are facts which come more especially, and perhaps more readily, under the cogni zance of the biologist than of the historian, economist, or philanthropist; and it is wholly from the point of view - and from the point of advantage or disadvantage - of the biol ogist that the book is written.
