Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Men of Science Garfield said, N 0 page of human history is so instructive and significant as the record of those early influences which develop the character and direct the lives of eminent men. These sketches show how young men have over come difficulties, sometimes poverty, sometimes illness; how they have made failures before find ing their true vocation. They show the results of energy, perseverance, and untiring devotion' how a cheerful face and a hopeful spirit like Agassiz's, or a gentle and kindly nature like Darwin's, can win its way against Opposition. A sketch of Benjamin Franklin, which otherwise would have a place in this volume will be found in Famous American Statesmen also one of Michael Faraday, in Poor Boys Who Became Famous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Men of Science: A History of Scientific Progress I count it an honour to be allowed to write a few words of introduction for the English edition of Professor Lenard's historical studies of the great men of science. It is now over twenty years since I worked as a research student in his laboratory, and time has dulled many memories, but the recollection of his inspiriting and wholehearted devotion to the service of science, of his generous enthusiasm forthe work of men of genius, living and dead, and of his wonderful experimental skill and resource, is still bright. Ramsauer, Hausser and Kossel, whose names have since become famous, were among his research students at that time, and the physics colloquium, with Professor Lenard's illumin ating and significant interjections, comments and questions, made the pursuit of scientific truth seem an exciting and supremely desirable quest. It was on such occasions that Professor Lenard's interest in the history of science came particularly to our notice. Who had first shown the way here, what had he actually done, how was he led to do it? Such questions, to which our professor too often had to supply the answer himself, brought before us the great ness of past workers and the significance of their achieve ments. Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Hertz (who was Lenard's teacher): such men became living figures for us, and their tasks and successes appeared as part of an organic structure, and not as an empty record of past times.

Download or read book American College Course Classic Reprint written by Seymour Eaton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American College Course The world beneath us, the world about us, the world above na - this is the general subject of the lessons in the present volume. How interesting the subject is, the les sons themselves will prove. Many people suppose that it is necessary to attend col lege in order to obtain a knowledge of science. This is a very erroneous notion. Some of the foremost men of science the world has known were never at college. The same thing is true of hundreds and thousands of other people who have had great love for scientific study. For successful scientific study the first requisite is a heart in sympathy with Nature; the next is an observing mind; the next is a determination to make the most of one's own opportunities, whatever these may be. The lessons in this volume are intended for people whose opportunities for scientific study are only such as lie open to every one. To every one the great world of out-door life is a freely accessible book. With that book, and with such practical help as these lessons will afford, very considerable progress in scientific study can be accomplished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Half Hours With Modern Scientists The title of this Series of Essays - Half Hours with Modern Scientists - suggests a variety of thoughts, some of which may not be inappropriate for a brief introduction to a new edition. Scientist is a modern appellation which has been specially selected to designate a devotee to one or more branches of physical science. Strictly interpreted it might properly be applied to the student of any department of knowledge when prosecuted in a scientific method, but for convenience it is limited to the student of some branch of physics. It is not thereby conceded that nature, i. e., physical or material nature is any more legitimately or exclusively the field for scientific enquiries than spirit, or that whether the objects of science are material or spiritual, the assumptions and processes of science themselves should not be subjected to scientific analysis and justification. There are so-called philosophers who adopt both these conclusions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholic Churchmen in Science: Sketches of the Lives of Catholic Ecclesiastics Who Were Among the Great Founders in Science There has recently been question of the foun dation of an Institute for the Study of the His tory of Science. 'its realization has, alas! Been delayed, as have so many other important intel lectual developments, by the great war which absorbs nearly all energy and attention. I think that very probably the articles contained in this little volume may serve to emphasize how much such an institution is needed. We have been so intent in the past on the history of war and politics that we have sadly neglected the ordered story of man's great constructive achievements. None of these has been more neglected than the history of science, that is, man's thoughtful efforts to penetrate with the human means at his command the meaning of man's life and the uni verse in which he lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 57: May to October, 1900 HE circumstance which renders the coming total eclipse of the sun, on May 28, 1900, of special significance to thousands of people who might otherwise entirely overlook the occasion is the fact that the path of the moon's shadow over the surface of the earth, or the track of the eclipse, is in such a convenient local ity - namely, in our Southern States - as to render the places of visibility easily accessible. Instead of being obliged to go to the ends of the earth, at a heavy expenditure of time and money, all the while running the risk of not seeing the eclipsed sun on account of prevailing cloudiness, we are fortunate this time to have the show at home in our own country. While many foreigners will be induced to come to the United States to make observations, it is certain that more people will be in a position to see this eclipse with a minimum amount of trouble than has ever happened before in the history of eclipses, at least since the telescope was invented and careful records of the phenomenon preserved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Astronomers IT has been my object in these pages to present the life of each astronomer in such detail as to enable the reader to realise in some degree the man's character and surroundings; and I have endeavoured to indicate-as clearly as circumstances would permit the main features of the discoveries by which he has become known. There are many types of astronomers - from the star gazer who merely watches the heavens, to the abstract mathematician who merely works at his desk; it has, consequently, been necessary in the case of some lives to adopt a very different treatment from that which seemed suitable for others.
