Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1863: Zoology, Botany, and Geology The physics of the development and of the life of the cell, as the basis of all anatomy and physiology, constitute the first problem to be solved in both those sciences. Since Schwann declared that both animal and vegetable tissues consist of cells originally of a like nature, the similarity also in function of such cells both in animals and plants has been rendered more and more evident. A clear perception of the whole of the physico-chemical phenomena which by their union constitute life will only be attained by an accurate knowledge of the origin and growth of the cell. The formative elements of the cells which unite to constitute organic tissues have been largely investigated since the time when Robert Brown indicated the presence of a nucleus in numerous cells, and since I demonstrated that the cell-wall, previously regarded as a single sac, consists in reality of several endogenous superimposed lamina; (Karsten, De Celia vitali, 1843).

Download or read book Reading the Shape of Nature written by Mary P. Winsor and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-11-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Shape of Nature vividly recounts the turbulent early history of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard and the contrasting careers of its founder Louis Agassiz and his son Alexander. Through the story of this institution and the individuals who formed it, Mary P. Winsor explores the conflicting forces that shaped systematics in the second half of the nineteenth century. Debates over the philosophical foundations of classification, details of taxonomic research, the young institution's financial struggles, and the personalities of the men most deeply involved are all brought to life. In 1859, Louis Agassiz established the Museum of Comparative Zoology to house research on the ideal types that he believed were embodied in all living forms. Agassiz's vision arose from his insistence that the order inherent in the diversity of life reflected divine creation, not organic evolution. But the mortar of the new museum had scarcely dried when Darwin's Origin was published. By Louis Agassiz's death in 1873, even his former students, including his son Alexander, had defected to the evolutionist camp. Alexander, a self-made millionaire, succeeded his father as director and introduced a significantly different agenda for the museum. To trace Louis and Alexander's arguments and the style of science they established at the museum, Winsor uses many fascinating examples that even zoologists may find unfamiliar. The locus of all this activity, the museum building itself, tells its own story through a wonderful series of archival photographs.

Download or read book Science in the Service of Empire written by John Gascoigne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Banks is one of the most significant figures of the English Enlightenment. This book places his work in promoting 'imperial science', in the context of the consolidation of the British State during a time of extraordinary upheaval. The American, French and Industrial Revolutions unleashed intense and dramatic change, placing growing pressure on the British state and increasing its need for expert advice on scientific matters. This was largely provided by Banks, who used his personal networks and systems of patronage to integrate scientific concerns with the complex machinery of government. In this book, originally published in 1998, Gascoigne skilfully draws out the rich detail of Banks' life within the broader political framework, and shows how imperial concerns prompted interest in the possible uses of science for economic and strategic gain. This is an important examination of the British State during a time of change and upheaval.
