Book excerpt: William Edmond Logan was born in Montreal, April 20,1798; completed one year at Edinburgh University, taking courses in mathematics, chemistry, & logic; worked in London for his uncle as bookkeeper and manager; in 1831, moved to Swansea Wales as manager of a copper smelting & coal production; did precise geological mapping of the south Wales coal basin to establish reserves; in 1842, appointed Director and Founder of the Geological Survey of Canada; with a few assistants, mapped Canada East and Canada West from Gaspe to Lake Superior; in 1851, 1855, and 1862 organized displays of Canadian rocks & minerals for International Exhibitions in London and Paris; in January 1856, Queen Victoria conferred knighthood, the first native born Canadian so honoured; in 1863, published a 983 page volume, the GEOLOGY OF CANADA, along with an atlas of geologic maps; in 1869, published a large geologic map about two and half by one metre, covering the area from Newfoundland to Manitoba, & the United States bordering the Great Lakes, from Maine to Kansas; in November 1869, relinquished the GSC directorship; died June 22, 1875, at Llechryd, Wales with burial at Cilgerran Wales, with the grave becoming 'unknown' being covered with lichens and moss. The biography by Harrington (1883) is rare, found only in professional & university libraries, generally not available to the public. So why this anthology of published papers by seven authors including Logan himself? In 1998, Sir William Logan was selected as the most important scientist in Canadian history. In 2000, headlines were made when the government proposed replacing his name on Canada's highest mountain in the Yukon. The public protested; the proposal was withdrawn. Logan's name is on numerous geographic & geologic features from offshore Nova Scotia near Sable Island to the Queen Charlotte Islands off British Columbia. In 2004, the CBC searched for the most important Canadians in a historic context, Logan's name is on the list.

Book excerpt: This book serves as an up-to-date introduction, as well as overview to modern trace fossil research and covers nearly all of the essential aspects of modern ichnology. Divided into three section, Trace Fossils covers the historical background and concepts of ichnology, on-going research problems, and indications about the possible future growth of the discipline and potential connections to other fields. This work is intended for a broad audience of geological and biological scientists. Workers new to the field could get a sense of the main concepts of ichnology and a clear idea of how trace fossil research is conducted. Scientists in related disciplines could find potential uses for trace fossils in their fields. And, established workers could use the book to check on the progress of their particular brand of ichnology. By design, there is something here for novice and veteran, insider and outsider, and for the biologically-oriented workers and for the sedimentary geologists.* Presents a review of the state of ichnology at the beginning of the 21st Century* Summarizes the basic concepts and methods of modern trace fossil research* Discusses crucial background information about the history of trace fossil research, the main concepts of ichnology, examples of current problems and future directions, and the potential connections to other disciplines within both biology and geology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of the life and work of Andrew Fernando Holmes, famous for his work on congenital heart disease. Physician, surgeon, natural historian, educator, Protestant evangelical. Andrew Fernando Holmes’s name is synonymous with the McGill medical faculty and with the discovery of a congenital heart malformation known as the "Holmes heart." Born in captivity at Cadiz, Spain, Holmes immigrated to Lower Canada in the first decade of the nineteenth century. He arrived in a province that was experiencing profound social, economic, and cultural change as the result of a long process of integration into the British Atlantic world. A transatlantic perspective, therefore, undergirds this biography, from an exploration of how Holmes’s family members were participants in an Atlantic world of trade and consumption, to explaining how his educational experiences at Edinburgh and Paris informed his approach to the practice of medicine, medical education, and medical politics.

Book excerpt: This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: volume 24 includes letters from 1876, the year in which Darwin published Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom, and started writing Forms of Flowers. In 1876, Darwin's daughter-in-law, Amy, died shortly after giving birth to a son, Bernard Darwin, an event that devastated the family. The volume includes a supplement of 182 letters from earlier years, including a newly discovered collection of letters from William Darwin, Darwin's eldest son.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapper of Mountains follows the career of Dominion Land Surveyor Morrison Parsons Bridgland, who provided the first detailed maps of many regions of the Canadian Rockies. Between 1902 and 1930, this unheralded alpinist perfected phototopographical techniques to compile a series of mountaintop photographs during summers of field work, and spent his winters collating them to provide the Canadian government, tourists, and mountain climbers with accurate topographical maps. Bridgland was a great climber and co-founder of the Alpine Club of Canada. Mapper of Mountains also tells the story of the Rocky Mountain Repeat Photography Project, which studies the changes sustained in the Rockies, repeating the field work accomplished by Bridgland almost a century ago.

Book excerpt: "The last great work of the age of reason, the final instance when all human knowledge could be presented with a single point of view ... Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes. It is especially strong in its biographical entries. These delve deeply into the history of men and women prominent in their eras who have since been largely forgotten - except by the historians, scholars"-- The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2012/apr/10/encyclopedia-britannica-11th-edition.
