Download or read book Scientific Institutions and Practice in France and Britain, c.1700–c.1870 written by Maurice Crosland and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second collection of studies by Maurice Crosland has as a first theme the differences in the style and organisation of scientific activity in Britain and France in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Science was more closely controlled in France, notably by the Paris Academy of Sciences, and the work of provincial amateurs much less prominent than in Britain. The most dramatic change in any branch of science during this period was in chemistry, largely through the work of Lavoisier and his colleagues, the focus of several articles here, and the dominance of this group caused considerable resentment outside France, not least by Joseph Priestley. The issue of authority in science emerges again, within France under the rule of Napoleon, in a study of the exceptional power exercised by the great mathematician Laplace both in theoretical science and in academic politics. This exploration of organisation and power is complemented by a comparative study of the practice of early 'physics' and chemistry and their different reliance on laboratories. This raises the question of whether chemistry provided a model for later experimental work in other sciences, both through the construction of pioneering laboratories and in establishing early schools of research.

Book Synopsis The Earth Sciences in the Enlightenment by : Kenneth L. Taylor
Download or read book The Earth Sciences in the Enlightenment written by Kenneth L. Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with the geological sciences in the 18th century, with special emphasis on France and French scientists. One focus is on the pioneering geologist Nicolas Desmarest, whose investigations in Auvergne and Italy (among other places) had important consequences in both theory and practice. Widening his inquiry beyond Desmarest, Professor Taylor also endeavors to recover key elements of the presuppositions and thought-patterns of Enlightenment geologists, and to discern how geological investigation worked during this formative period. Many of the participants are seen as struggling to define their scientific objectives and procedures by drawing from the competing frameworks of physique or natural philosophy, descriptive natural history, and antiquarian scholarship or developmental history.
Book Synopsis Before and After Darwin by : Michael Jonathan Sessions Hodge
Download or read book Before and After Darwin written by Michael Jonathan Sessions Hodge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of a pair of volumes by Jonathan Hodge, collecting all his most innovative, revisionist and influential papers on Charles Darwin and on the longer run of theories about origins and species from ancient times to the present. The focus in this volume is on the diversity of theories among such pre-Darwinian authors as Lamarck and Whewell, and on developments in the theory of natural selection since Darwin. The papers explore the ontological and cosmogonical contexts for theories about origins and species, while clarifying continuities and discontinuities in thinking, and showing how controversy persists over the old issues about order, chance, necessity and purpose in the living world and the wider universe as a whole.

The IBR, published again since 1971 as an interdisciplinary, international bibliography of reviews, it is a unique source of bibliographical information. The database contains entries on over 1.2 million book reviews of literature dealing primarily with the humanities and social sciences published in 6,820, mainly European scholarly journals. Reviews of more than 560,000 scholarly works are listed. The database increases every year by 60,000 entries. Every entry contains the following information: On the work reviewed: author, title On the review: reviewer, periodical (year, edition, page, ISSN), language, subject area (in German, English, Italian) Publisher, address of journal
