Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Standard Natural History, Vol. 6 To-day the anthropologist calls to his assistance every possible source of informa tion; anatomy, language, history, traditions, myths, customs, habits, intellectual attain ments, all are to be weighed, criticised, and their import studied before one can arrive at a true classification Of the races of mankind, a classification which shall explain all peculiarities of geographical distribution and physical characteristics, and represent the exact relationships and inter-relationships Of each and every variety. Although much has been done in this direction within the past forty years, we are still far from our ideal, and whether such a grouping is within the power of the human mind with the materials at its disposal, we cannot at present say.

Download or read book Natural History Vol 6 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural History, Vol. 6: Zoology and Botany The completion of these fifty memoirs, descriptive of the fauna and flora of that part of the Antarctic area which was visited by the Discovery, under the command of Captain Scott, R.N., C.A)., offers a suitable opportunity for saying a few words on the collections that were obtained, and for suggesting some general reflections on the inhabitants of the area that was studied. First of all we have to note the extraordinary differences between the North and the South Polar regions; in the one there is the polar sea, in the other solid land. In the one case, the surfaces of its solid places are dominated by rapacious Carnivores which, ever hungry in such climes, have compelled all defenceless animals to assume the same colour as themselves and the snow on which they live. In the other, the absence of aggressors allows the Penguins to assume the splendid and beautiful colourations which are so well shown in Dr. Wilson's admirable drawings. The Antarctic region, instead of being, as we might imagine, with its inhospitable climate, almost devoid of life, teems with species, of which 227 new forms are described in these volumes. Of some Amphipoda Mr. Jlodo-son writes "It was quite the usual thing to take 10,000 to 30,000 at a haul." And the collection of the 'Discovery' Schizopoda contained one species which was represented by nearly 10, 000 specimens. Students of Professor Ehlers' report on the Polychseta will have only a faint idea of the number of specimens of Harmothoe spinosa brought back by the Expedition. The Alga Lessonia (randiflora was found to have a lamina as much as 24 feet long; on the other hand, M.Cardot noted that most of the species of Mosses showed signs, which he has detailed, of the severity of their struggle for existence. With the exception of some Algae, no freshwater organisms were obtained by the 'Discovery' Expedition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The History of Cartography Volume 6 written by Mark Monmonier and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 1941 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, the History of Cartography Project has charted the course for scholarship on cartography, bringing together research from a variety of disciplines on the creation, dissemination, and use of maps. Volume 6, Cartography in the Twentieth Century, continues this tradition with a groundbreaking survey of the century just ended and a new full-color, encyclopedic format. The twentieth century is a pivotal period in map history. The transition from paper to digital formats led to previously unimaginable dynamic and interactive maps. Geographic information systems radically altered cartographic institutions and reduced the skill required to create maps. Satellite positioning and mobile communications revolutionized wayfinding. Mapping evolved as an important tool for coping with complexity, organizing knowledge, and influencing public opinion in all parts of the globe and at all levels of society. Volume 6 covers these changes comprehensively, while thoroughly demonstrating the far-reaching effects of maps on science, technology, and society—and vice versa. The lavishly produced volume includes more than five hundred articles accompanied by more than a thousand images. Hundreds of expert contributors provide both original research, often based on their own participation in the developments they describe, and interpretations of larger trends in cartography. Designed for use by both scholars and the general public, this definitive volume is a reference work of first resort for all who study and love maps.

Download or read book The Annals and Magazine of Natural History Vol 6 written by W. Jardine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, Vol. 6: Including Zoology, Botany, and Geology I conceive, as far as possible, discriminate between those plants which are really indigenous, and those which appear to have been introduced, whether at an early or a later period; it should mark the situation in which the plant is found and the different parts of the country; whether abundant or scarce; and on what kind of ground, as limestone, basalt, &c. It should be an Object to record the earliest notice of each plant, and the name of the discoverer, if it can be ascertained, to which may be added remarks on its nature and uses. And in the case of a country like Ireland, which has its own pe culiar language still used in many parts of it, the name given to the plant in that language Should be recorded, when known, as well as the common names in English. The author of a local Flora Should be a man well acquainted with the past as well as present state of the district, and should be able to make various branches of science contribute to the usefulness of his work. Finally, if like Dr. Johnston, in his Flora of berwick-ou-tweed, he can render his work entertaining as well as instructive, he will have a stronger claim on the gra titude of those for whom he has been labouring. That my friend Mr. Mackay's work does not meet all these objects is no reason for censuring him, and with respect to the Irish names, unless he had it in his power to give real ones, it was much better to omit them altogether, than to do, what was done in another case, manufacture names for the occasion, which a native could hardly recognise.
