Book excerpt: Charles Kingsley (12 June 1819 - 23 January 1875) was a broad-church priest of the Church of England, a university professor, social reformer, historian, novelist and poet. He is particularly associated with Christian socialism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives, which failed, but encouraged later working reforms.

(1855).

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments of Science for Unscientific People a Series of Detached Essays, Lectures, and Reviews My Motive in writing these papers was mainly that which prompted the publication of my Royal Institution lectures; a desire, namely, to extend sympathy for science beyond the limits of the scientific public. The fulfilment of this desire has caused a temporary and sometimes reluctant deflection of thought from the line of original research. But considering the result aimed at, and in part I trust achieved, I do not regret the price paid for it. I have carefully looked over all the articles here printed, added a little, omitted a little - in fact, tried as far as my time permitted to render the work presentable. Most of the essays are of a purely scientific character, and from those which are not, I have endeavored, without veiling my convictions, to exclude every word that could cause needless irritation. From America the impulse came which induced me to gather these "Fragments" together, and to my friends in the United States I dedicate them.

Book excerpt: The superstitious man, according to him, after having washed his hands with lustral water--that is, water in which a torch from the altar had been quenched--goes about with a laurel-leaf in his mouth, to keep off evil influences, as the pigs in Devonshire used, in my youth, to go about with a withe of mountain ash round their necks to keep off the evil eye. If a weasel crosses his path, he stops, and either throws three pebbles into the road, or, with the innate selfishness of fear, lets someone else go before him, and attract to himself the harm which may ensue. He has a similar dread of a screech-owl, whom he compliments in the name of its mistress, Pallas Athene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leisure-Time Studies, Chiefly Biological: A Series of Essays and Lectures In this latter View, the author would hope that the essays on the relations of biology to common educa tion may receive their due meed of attention from both educationists and scientists. Of these efforts to state the case for biology as a mighty influence in modern culture, the author would only say that they are the direct products of a long experience in biolo gical teaching, and the sincere expression of a strong belief in the value of a knowledge of nature in pro ducing a true and liberal culture in all departments of human thought.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Birth-Time of the World and Other Scientific Essays by John Joly Tins volume contains twelve essays written at various timesduring recent years. Many of them are studies contributed toScientific Reviews or delivered as popular lectures. Some areexpositions of views the scientific basis of which may beregarded as established. Others-the greater number-may bedescribed as attempting the solution of problems which cannot beapproached by direct observation. The essay on The Birth-time of the World is based on a lecturedelivered before the Royal Dublin Society. The subject hasattracted much attention within recent years. The age of theEarth is, indeed, of primary importance in our conception of thelongevity of planetary systems. The essay deals with theevidence, derived from the investigation of purely terrestrialphenomena, as to the period which has elapsed since the oceancondensed upon the Earth's surface. Dr. Decker's recent additionto the subject appeared too late for inclusion in it. He findsthat the movements (termed isostatic) which geologists recogniseas taking place deep in the Earth's crust, indicate an age of thesame order of magnitude.

Book Synopsis Science and Culture by : Hermann von Helmholtz
Download or read book Science and Culture written by Hermann von Helmholtz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-08-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermann von Helmholtz was a leading figure of nineteenth-century European intellectual life, remarkable even among the many scientists of the period for the range and depth of his interests. A pioneer of physiology and physics, he was also deeply concerned with the implications of science for philosophy and culture. From the 1850s to the 1890s, Helmholtz delivered more than two dozen popular lectures, seeking to educate the public and to enlighten the leaders of European society and governments about the potential benefits of science and technology to a developing modern society. David Cahan has selected fifteen of these lectures, which reflect the wide range of topics of crucial importance to Helmholtz and his audiences. Among the subjects discussed are the origins of the planetary system, the relation of natural science to science in general, the aims and progress of the physical sciences, the problems of perception, and academic freedom in German universities. This collection also includes Helmholtz's fascinating lectures on the relation of optics to painting and the physiological causes of harmony in music, which provide insight into the relations between science and aesthetics. Science and Culture makes available again Helmholtz's eloquent arguments on the usefulness, benefits, and, intellectual pleasures of understanding the natural world. With Cahan's Introduction to set these essays in their broader context, this collection makes an important contribution to the philosophical and intellectual history of Europe at a time when science played an increasingly significant role in social, economic, and cultural life.
