Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Mineralogical Classification and Nomenclature: With Tables of the Orders and Species of Minerals IT is not the design of this essay to propose a new system of mineralogical classification. The more limited object of the following pages is to compare the groups of minerals which are associated by outward properties, with a view to discover what are the resemblances and differences of their chemical constitution. This seems to be the method by which we may best hope to approach the most natural and true arrangement of minerals, and to obtain some insight into the nature of the laws by which the chemical composition determines the external character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineral Systems, a Review: With Outline or an Attempted Classification of Minerals in Natural Groups Apart from certain questions bearing more or less directly on the subject, the present Essay concerns itself entirely with the Classification of Minerals. It is not intended to serve in any way as an introduction to the actual study of Mineralogy: nor, indeed, can its argument be properly understood except by those who have already some knowledge of the subject to which it refers. It is published as a protest against the system of classification now so greatly in vogue, by which Mineralogy is practically dethroned as a natural science; and secondly, in the hope that it may induce some of our younger workers in this field of research to develop, sooner or later, a truly natural system that may be acceptable to all. The writer's own day has gone by for this. The inevitable "Thus far and no farther" that awaits the coming years of all, is, in his case wellnigh reached. In his discussion of past and present classifications, he is constrained, it will be seen, to differ somewhat widely from the views and opinions of others: but, in contesting these views, he has striven to do so without undue discourtesy.

This book was released on 2001-05-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a complete development of the new structural classification of minerals, which is based on the internal crystal structure, and therefore is its natural classification. Because of the large domain of the mineral kingdom, this book is divided in three volumes, where the minerals are ordered from the structurally simple to the more complex. This work will be of particular interest to teachers and research workers in Mineralogy, and also in Inorganic Crystal Structures in universities.

Download or read book The Correspondence of Michael Faraday written by Michael Faraday and published by IET. This book was released on 1991 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Correspondence of Michael Faraday Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the most important men of science in nineteenth century Britain. His discoveries of electro-magnetic rotations (1821) and electro-magnetic induction (1831) laid the foundations of the modern electrical industry. His discovery of the magneto-optical effect and diamagnetism (1845) led him to formulate the field theory of electro-magnetism, which forms one of the cornerstones of modern physics. These and a whole host of other fundamental discoveries in physics and chemistry, together with his lecturing at the Royal Institution, his work for the state (including Trinity House), his religious beliefs and his lack of mathematical ability, make Faraday one of the most fascinating scientific figures ever. All these aspects of his life and work and others, such as his health, are reflected in his letters which, in this final volume, cover Faraday's life to his death in August 1867. Also published here are letters that could not be dated and letters that should have been included in volumes one to five but which had not been located when those volumes were published. In total just over 80% of the letters in this volume are previously unpublished. The dominant topic of the 1860s (covered in nearly 40% of the letters) is Faraday's involvement with the lighthouse service relating in particular to his advice to Trinity House and the Board of Trade on matters such as electric light and the controversial issue of fog signals. Also detailed is the complex process by which his various posts were transferred to John Tyndall. Similar issues existed with Faraday's gradual withdrawal from his duties at the Royal Institution, including the misguided attempt to make him President. And, of course, running through many of the letters are comments on his declining health and impending death. Major correspondents include the Astronomer Royal G.B. Airy, the Secretary of Trinity House P.H. Berthon, the Birmingham glassmaker J.T. Chance, the Assistant Secretary of the Board of Trade T.H. Farrer, the German mathematician Julius Plü cker, the Cambridge trained mathematical natural philosophers James Clerk Maxwell and William Thomson, Faraday's colleagues at the Royal Institution Henry Bence Jones, John Tyndall and Benjamin Vincent, the Swiss chemist Christian Schoenbein and the astronomer James South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian period in Britain was an “age of reform.” It is therefore not surprising that two of the era’s most eminent intellects described themselves as reformers. Both William Whewell and John Stuart Mill believed that by reforming philosophy—including the philosophy of science—they could effect social and political change. But their divergent visions of this societal transformation led to a sustained and spirited controversy that covered morality, politics, science, and economics. Situating their debate within the larger context of Victorian society and its concerns, Reforming Philosophy shows how two very different men captured the intellectual spirit of the day and engaged the attention of other scientists and philosophers, including the young Charles Darwin. Mill—philosopher, political economist, and Parliamentarian—remains a canonical author of Anglo-American philosophy, while Whewell—Anglican cleric, scientist, and educator—is now often overlooked, though in his day he was renowned as an authority on science. Placing their teachings in their proper intellectual, cultural, and argumentative spheres, Laura Snyder revises the standard views of these two important Victorian figures, showing that both men’s concerns remain relevant today. A philosophically and historically sensitive account of the engagement of the major protagonists of Victorian British philosophy, Reforming Philosophy is the first book-length examination of the dispute between Mill and Whewell in its entirety. A rich and nuanced understanding of the intellectual spirit of Victorian Britain, it will be welcomed by philosophers and historians of science, scholars of Victorian studies, and students of the history of philosophy and political economy.

Download or read book Defining Science written by Richard Yeo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1993 book deals with debates about science - its history, philosophy and moral value - in the first half of the nineteenth century, a period in which the 'modern' features of science developed. Defining Science also examines the different forms or genres in which science was discussed in the public sphere - most crucially in the Victorian review journals, but also in biographical, historical and educational works. William Whewell wrote major works on the history and philosophy of science before these became technical subjects. Consequently he had to define his own role as a metascientific critic (in a manner akin to cultural critics like Coleridge and Carlyle) as well as seeking to define science for both expert and lay audiences.

Download or read book Science, Technology, and Virtues written by Emanuele Ratti and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtues have become a valuable and relevant resource for understanding modern science and technology. Scientific practice requires not only following prescribed rules but also cultivating judgment, building mental habits, and developing proper emotional responses. The rich philosophical traditions around virtue can provide key insights into scientific research, including understanding how daily practice shapes scientists themselves and how ethical dilemmas created by modern scientific research and technology should be navigated. Science, Technology, and Virtues gathers both new and eminent scholars to show how concepts of virtue can help us better understand, construct, and use the products of modern science and technology. Contributors draw from examples across philosophy, history, sociology, political science, and engineering to explore how virtue theory can help orient science and technology towards the pursuit of the good life. Split into four major sections, this volume covers virtues in science, technology, epistemology, and research ethics, with individual chapters discussing applications of virtues to scientific practice, the influence of virtue ethics on socially responsible research, and the concept of "failing well" within the scientific community. Rather than offer easy solutions, the essays in this volume instead illustrate how virtue concepts can provide a productive and illuminating perspective on two phenomena at the core of modern life. Fresh and thought-provoking, Science, Technology, and Virtues presents a pluralistic set of scholarship to show how virtue concepts can enrich our understanding of scientific research, guide the design and use of new technologies, and shape how we envision future scientists, engineers, consumers, and citizens.
