Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges-Louis Leclerc, le comte de Buffon's The Epochs of Nature, originally published as Les Époques de la Nature in 1778, is one of the first great popular science books, a work of style and insight that was devoured by Catherine the Great of Russia and influenced Humboldt, Darwin, Lyell, Vernadsky, and many other renowned scientists. It is the first geological history of the world, stretching from the Earth’s origins to its foreseen end, and though Buffon was limited by the scientific knowledge of his era—the substance of the Earth was not, as he asserts, dragged out of the sun by a giant comet, nor is the sun’s heat generated by tidal forces—many of his deductions appear today as startling insights. And yet, The Epochs of Nature has never before been available in its entirety in English—until now. In seven epochs, Buffon reveals the main features of an evolving Earth, from its hard rock substrate to the sedimentary layers on top, from the minerals and fossils found within these layers to volcanoes, earthquakes, and rises and falls in sea level—and he even touches on age-old mysteries like why the sun shines. In one of many moments of striking scientific prescience, Buffon details evidence for species extinction a generation before Cuvier’s more famous assertion of the phenomenon. His seventh and final epoch does nothing less than offer the first geological glimpse of the idea that humans are altering the very foundations of the Earth—an idea of remarkable resonance as we debate the designation of another epoch: the Anthropocene. Also featuring Buffon’s extensive “Notes Justificatives,” in which he offers further evidence to support his assertions (and discusses vanished monstrous North American beasts—what we know as mastodons—as well as the potential existence of human giants), plus an enlightening introduction by editor and translator Jan Zalasiewicz and historians of science Sverker Sörlin, Libby Robin, and Jacques Grinevald, this extraordinary new translation revives Buffon’s quite literally groundbreaking work for a new age.

Book Synopsis The Invention of Race by : Nicolas Bancel
Download or read book The Invention of Race written by Nicolas Bancel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the genesis of scientific conceptions of race and their accompanying impact on the taxonomy of human collections internationally as evidenced in ethnographic museums, world fairs, zoological gardens, international colonial exhibitions and ethnic shows. A deep epistemological change took place in Europe in this domain toward the end of the eighteenth century, producing new scientific representations of race and thereby triggering a radical transformation in the visual economy relating to race and racial representation and its inscription in the body. These practices would play defining roles in shaping public consciousness and the representation of “otherness” in modern societies. The Invention of Race provides contextualization that is often lacking in contemporary discussions on diversity, multiculturalism and race.

This book was released on 1978-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'etude morphologique des tissus pathologiques en microscopie d' elements: optique comporte schematiquement deux types 1) les cellules, 2) les Fibres conjonctives intercellulaires. Ces Fibres, qui constituent Ie "squelette mou", servent de support aux elements cellwlaires, contribuent a maintenir l'architecture des tissu, et interviennent dans la circulation des liquides intercellu- laires. La quantite, la structure et la repartition de ces Fibres sont etroitement liees a l'activite physiologique des populations cellulaires et a leur pathologie.L'etude de leurs modiFications est tres utile dans Ie diagnostic d'une lesion, mais la complexite et la variete des images de ces reseaux Fibrillaires rend leur description et leur classiFication tres diFFiciles. L'application des methodes morphometriques peut etre un moyen utile pour obtenir des parametres objectiFs susceptibles de preciser ces structures. C'est uniquement l'etude des Fibres conjonctives que nous envisa- gerons pour Ie moment. L'emploi, en pratique courante, des methodes morphometriques comme aide au diagnostic anatomo-pathologique, ne peut se concevoir que si les techniques utilisees sont relativement simples et surtout rapides. Dans ce but, nous avons entrepris, depuis I973, avec les moyens du Laboratoire, la realisation d'un appareil automatique specialement con u pour essayer de repondre aux exigences particulieres de ce type d' e'tudes.
Book Synopsis The World through Soccer by : Tamir Bar-On
Download or read book The World through Soccer written by Tamir Bar-On and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s most popular sport, soccer is a global and cultural phenomenon. The television audience for the 2010 World Cup included nearly half of the world’s population, with viewers in nearly every country. As a reflection of soccer’s significance, the sport impacts countless aspects of the world’s culture, from politics and religion to business and the arts. In The World through Soccer: The Cultural Impact of a Global Sport, Tamir Bar-On utilizes soccer to provide insights into worldwide politics, religion, ethics, marketing, business, leadership, philosophy, and the arts. Bar-On examines the ways in which soccer influences and reflects these aspects of society, and vice versa. Each chapter features representative players, providing specific examples of how soccer comments on and informs our lives. These players—selected from a wide array of eras, countries, and backgrounds—include Diego Maradona, Pelé, Hugo Sánchez, Cha Bum-Kun, Roger Milla, José Luis Chilavert, Zinedine Zidane, Paolo Maldini, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi, Neymar, Clint Dempsey, Mia Hamm, and many others. Employing a unique lens to view a variety of topics, The World through Soccer reveals the sport’s profound cultural impact. Combining philosophical, popular, and academic insights about our world, this book is aimed at both soccer fans and academics, offering readers a new perspective into a sport that affects millions.
Book Synopsis The Species Problem by : David N. Stamos
Download or read book The Species Problem written by David N. Stamos and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative work, David N. Stamos tackles the problem of determining exactly what a biological species is: in short, whether species are real and the nature of their reality. Although many have written on this topic, The Species Problem is the only comprehensive single-authored book on this central concern of biology. Stamos critically considers the evolution of the three major contemporary views of species: species nominalism, species as classes, and species as individuals. Finally, he develops his own solution to the species problem, a solution aimed at providing a universal species concept worthy of the Modern Synthesis. This book will be of interest to philosophers of biology and of science in general, to historians of biology, and to biologists concerned with one of the most significant (and practical) conceptual issues in their field.
