Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secord gives a dazzlingly detailed account of this scientific trench warfare and its social consequences. One ends up with a marvellous feeling for the major taxonomic enterprises in Darwin's younger day: mapping, ordering, conquering 'taming the chaos" of the strata. All of these of course had social and imperial ramifications; and Secord mentions geology's moral appeal (in supporting a divinely-stratified Creation) to a beleaguered elite intent on subduing the lower orders. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download or read book Geology of Victoria written by Public Library and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of Victoria: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Specimens in the Industrial and Technological Museum (Melbourne), Illustrating the Rock System of Victoria The descriptive catalogue of the specimens in the Industrial and Technological Museum, Which now appears, originally formed part of the Report of the Museum, presented to Parliament in 1874. It is' reprinted, With a View of making it more generally useful to the public. The collection of rocks native to Victoria Which the catalogue describes, affords a very good opportunity of studying the rock systems of the country. The greatest care has been observed With reference to the locality of each specimen, and a great number have been placed aside as comparatively useless, because their identity With a particular district could not, With certainty, be stated. In the catalogue will be found explanatory notes on the character of the various specimens, their modes of occurrence and affinities, rendering the collection still more useful, and the catalogue not merely a hand - book to this collection, but a guide that can be used With great advantage in the formation of other collee tions throughout the country. The foreign rocks and minerals, carefully classified in the.museum, also afford an opportunity of comparison With those of Victoria, Which must be interesting and valuable to all who are engaged in geological research. In his origi nal report to the Trustees, Mr. Ulrich states that the nomenclature, system, and basis of classification adopted are according to the most approved recent views on Lithology by Dr. Zirkel, of Leipzig, Dr. Senft, von Cotta, and other authorities on the subject, though following mainly those given by Dr. Zirkel in his work on Petrography. As all the collections of rock specimens in the Museum have been arranged according to this system, the identical species and varieties of rocks of these collections can easily be compared. The geological notes introductory to the several main divisions and groups of rocks, are partly from Mr. Ulrich's own obser vations in the field, and partly extracts from the reports of Mr. A. R. C. Selwyn, the Director of the former Geological Survey of Victoria. The numbers of this catalogue agree with those on the descriptive labels attached to the specimens.

Download or read book The Victorians A Very Short Introduction written by Martin Hewitt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring The Victorian period may have come to an end over 120 years ago, but the Victorians continue to be a vital presence in the modern world. Contemporary Britain is still in large part Victorian in its transport networks, sewage systems, streets, and houses. Victorian cultural legacies, especially in art, science, and literature, are still celebrated. The first to have to grapple with many of the challenges of modern urban society, we continue to look to the Victorians for inspiration and solace. And we are increasingly aware of the ways their global actions shaped, often for ill, the world around us. Much mythologised, inexhaustibly controversial, the Victorians are an inescapable reference point for understanding the modern histories not just of Britain and its empire, but of the world. In The Victorians: A Very Short Introduction Martin Hewitt offers a guide through the thickets of judgement and debate which have grown around the period and its people, to offer a historical overview of the Victorians and their legacies. He seeks to answer five crucial questions. Why have the Victorians continued occupy such a prominent place in the cultures of not just the anglophone world? How far does it make sense to think of a 64-year period arbitrarily given an identity by the longevity of the Queen as an identifiable historical period in a general sense? How justified are the value-laden versions of the Victorians which argue for the existence of a particular world view called 'Victorianism'? Beyond ideology, what was Victorian Britain actually like – and in particular, what was distinctive about it? Who were the Victorians – not just the eminent few, but the population as a whole? And finally, how far and with what results did the Victorians and their culture spread across the globe? In answering these questions, Hewitt cautions against some long-held orthodoxies, throws a light on some less well-known aspects of the period, and urges the importance of understanding the Victorians on their own terms if we are to effectively engage with their legacies.

Download or read book Reading the Rocks written by Brenda Maddox and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich and exuberant group biography of the early geologists, the people who were first to excavate from the layers of the world its buried history. The birth of geology was fostered initially by gentlemen whose wealth supported their interests, but in the nineteenth century, it was advanced by clergymen, academics, and women whose findings expanded the field. Reading the Rocks brings to life this eclectic cast of characters who brought passion, eccentricity, and towering intellect to the discovery of how Earth was formed. Geology opened a window on the planet's ancient past. Contrary to the Book of Genesis, the rocks and fossils dug up showed that Earth was immeasurably old. Moreover, fossil evidence revealed progressive changes in life forms. It is no coincidence that Charles Darwin was a keen geologist. Acclaimed biographer and science writer Brenda Maddox's story goes beyond William Smith, the father of English geology; Charles Lyell, the father of modern geology; and James Hutton, whose analysis of rock layers unveiled what is now called “deep time.” She also explores the livesof fossil hunter Mary Anning, the Reverend William Buckland, Darwin, and many others--their triumphs and disappointments, and the theological, philosophical, and scientific debates their findings provoked. Reading the Rocks illustrates in absorbing and revelatory details how this group of early geologists changed irrevocably our understanding of the world.
