This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences, 1926, Vol. 21 When one considers his comparative isolation and the general lack of interest in natural phenomena of the period, Doctor Allen was singularly fortunate in finding men who could give him the assistance he so eagerly sought. Shortly after meeting Horsford, a teacher took charge of the district school who possessed a broader education than anyone with whom young Allen had come in contact. A nature lover himself, he could appreciate his pupil's aspirations, and he not only assisted him in his studies, but gave him a copy of Blythe's Cuvier's Animal Kingdom. This work greatly enlarged the boy's horizon and showed his potential broadness as a naturalist. His interest in nature did not, as often happens, begin and end with birds, but plants, mammals, reptiles, fishes, insects - in short, the living world - equally appealed to him, and for years he kept a detailed record of meteorological phenomena. His first publication, indeed, was a summary from his journal of weather conditions, which appeared in the New England Farmer for 1858. Prof. Oliver Marcy followed the donor of Cuvier as the boy naturalist's friend and teacher. Later he became dean of the faculty of Northwestern University, but at that time he was the teacher of natural sciences at Wilbraham Academy, which Allen attended during the winter from 1858 to 1862. This was a productive period in his development. Under the sympathetic guidance of Professor Marcy he selected his own studies, including physiology, astronomy, chemistry, Latin, French, and German. His summers were still spent on the farm, but with Humboldt's Cosmos, Lyell's Principles of Geology, and Dana's Mineralogy for companions, it is clear that his horizon was not restricted to the hayfields. To demonstrate, however, his value as a farm hand, the far from strong boy unduly exerted himself and this, with demands made by a desire to gratify his passion for collection and study, told heavily on his health. To these long periods of overwork, Doctor Allen attributed much of the semi-invalidism from which he suffered in after years.

Book Synopsis Film and the Working Class by : Peter Stead
Download or read book Film and the Working Class written by Peter Stead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the subject chronologically from the 1890s to when the book was initially published in 1989, this book analyses those films specifically concerned with working-class conditions and struggle, and discusses them within the context of the debate on the social significance of the feature film. It concentrates on films which depict labour organizations and political activists, as well as life in working-class communities and actors with working-class identities such as James Cagney. Reviews of the original edition: ‘...fills a gap in film studies...the study of social and labour history, and the development of popular culture in Britain and the United States.’
Book Synopsis Historical and Archaeological Perspectives on the Itzas of Petén, Guatemala by : Prudence M. Rice
Download or read book Historical and Archaeological Perspectives on the Itzas of Petén, Guatemala written by Prudence M. Rice and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical and Archaeological Perspectives on the Itzas of Petén, Guatemala is the first exhaustively detailed and thorough account of the Itzas—a Maya group that dominated much of the western lowland area of tropical forest, swamps, and grasslands in Petén, Guatemala. Examining archaeological and historical evidence, Prudence Rice and Don Rice present a theoretical perspective on the Itzas’ origins and an overview of the social, political, linguistic, and environmental history of the area; explain the Spanish view of the Itzas during the Conquest; and explore the material culture of the Itzas as it has been revealed in recent surveys and excavations. The long but fragmented history of the Petén Itzas requires investigation across multiple periods and regions. Chapters in this six-part overview interweave varying data pertaining to this group—archaeological, artifactual, indigenous textual, Spanish historical—from multiple languages and academic fields, such as anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, ecology, and history. Part I introduces the lowland Itzas, northern and southern, with an emphasis on those of the central Petén lakes area. Part II discusses general Itza origins and identities in the Epiclassic period, while part III reviews Spanish perceptions and misconceptions of the Petén Itzas in their Contact-period writings. With these temporal anchors, parts IV and V present the archaeology and artifacts of the Petén Itzas, including pottery, architecture, and arrow points, from varied sites and excavations but primarily focusing on the island capital of Tayza/Nojpetén. Part VI summarizes key data and themes of the preceding chapters for a new understanding of the Petén Itzas. A companion volume to The Kowoj—a similar treatment of the Petén Itzas’ regional neighbors—Historical and Archaeological Perspectives on the Itzas of Petén, Guatemala demonstrates the unique physical, cultural, and social framework that was home to the Petén Itza, along with their backstory in northern Yucatán. Archaeologists, historians, art historians, and geographers who specialize in the Maya and the Postclassic, Contact, and Colonial periods will find this book of particular interest.

Book Synopsis The Molecular Vision of Life by : Lily E. Kay
Download or read book The Molecular Vision of Life written by Lily E. Kay and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study examines the rise of American molecular biology to disciplinary dominance, focusing on the period between 1930 and the elucidation of DNA structure in the mid 1950s. Research undertaken during this period, with its focus on genetic structure and function, endowed scientists with then unprecedented power over life. By viewing the new biology as both a scientific and cultural enterprise, Lily E. Kay shows that the growth of molecular biology was a result of systematic efforts by key scientists and their sponsors to direct the development of biological research toward a shared vision of science and society. She analyzes the motivations and mechanisms empowering this vision by focusing on two key institutions: Caltech and its sponsor, the Rockefeller Foundation. Her study explores a number of vital, sometimes controversial topics, among them the role of private power centers in shaping scientific agenda, and the political dimensions of "pure" research. It also advances a sobering argument: the cognitive and social groundwork for genetic engineering and human genome projects was laid by the American architects of molecular biology during these early decades of the project. This book will be of interest to molecular biologists, historians, sociologists, and the general reader alike.
