Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Memoir of Alexander Agassiz, 1835-1910 Three years later he became interested in coal mining in Pennsylvania, but he still continued active work in zoology. In 1865 he undertook the exploitation of an unprofitable copper mine in Michigan, in which he detected great possibilities. By uniting this mine with an adjoining one and by the application of improved methods of ore treatment, he placed the consoli dated properties upon a productive basis. From this time on, he had no further dread of the narrowness of means which had hitherto hampered him and his father; moreover, he could henceforth liberally aid his father in the furtherance of plans for the symmetrical expansion of the museum, and form for himself generous projects for exploration as well as for mu seum study. In spite of the too serious drafts made by the mining enterprise upon his time and strength, he did not at any time relinquish his interest in its management. He served successively as superintendent, treasurer, and president. In 1869 his health gave way under the protracted strain of the management of the mine in Michigan, and he was forced to suspend all work in connection with that undertaking. With his wife and children he sailed for Europe in the autumn of that year, and his rest soon found him convalescent. With returning strength he journeyed to various points where he could examine collections of his favorite objects of study, and thus he spent his vacation in the most pleasurable scientific activity. The titles of the scientific papers noted at the end of this sketch exhibit the wide range of his investigation and the steadfastness of his purpose. At this period he was devoting himself with singleness of aim to embryology and certain phases of systematic zoology. In this work and in his devotion to the museum, he must have given great satisfaction to his father. Who always regarded him as his earliest student in the museum. His methods of study were largely those of his father, and his avoidance of the polemics of Darwinism at this time was an added gratification. This period is regarded by those best qualified to judge as the happiest and most produc tive of the years which he gave to zoology proper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Recollections of Alexander Agassiz After it became apparent that it would be necessary to cast this book in its present form, I would gladly have handed the material to a more experienced bio grapher. Since no suitable person was available, it has fallen to me to complete the work, for lack of a fitting Boswell. I wish to take this opportunity of most cordially thanking the many individuals who have kindly allowed me to examine my father's letters and have assisted in numerous other ways. I trust that they will consider their number a sufficient excuse for not mentioning them personally. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the advent of radio, conceptions of the relationship between science and religion circulated through periodicals, journals, and books, influencing the worldviews of intellectuals and a wider public. In this volume, historians of science and religion examine that relationship through diverse mediums, geographic contexts, and religious traditions. Spanning within and beyond Europe and North America, chapters emphasize underexamined regions—New Zealand, Australia, India, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Egypt, and the Ottoman Empire—and major religions of the world, including Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam; interactions between those traditions; as well as atheism, monism, and agnosticism. As they focus on evolution and human origins, contributors draw attention to European scientists other than Darwin who played a significant role in the dissemination of evolutionary ideas; for some, those ideas provided the key to understanding every aspect of human culture, including religion. They also highlight central figures in national contexts, many of whom were not scientists, who appropriated scientific theories for their own purposes. Taking a local, national, transnational, and global approach to the study of science and religion, this volume begins to capture the complexity of cultural engagement with evolution and religion in the long nineteenth century.
