Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Travel and Natural History, 1868, Vol. 1 N 0 line can be drawn between the social or political history of the present day and that of former times. We are living and acting history now as truly as men did in the days of Miltiades or Julius Caesar. Nor can any boundary be traced between the operations of nature in our own age and those in what are called the geological periods. The world is working out geological history now as surely as it did in the times Of the trilobite or the pterodactyle. It may be that all the forces which have at different times affected the earth's crust are not acting now, or may possibly have lost some of their first vigour. But the great leading principle of change, so far as we yet know, remain the same in kind, if not absolutely the same in degree.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Travel and Natural History, 1868, Vol. 1 It is a common belief that geology as a science deals wholly, or almost wholly, with a time earlier than the advent of man upon the earth, and that its proper subject of research ends where human history begins. As Sanscrit, though indispensable in the philosophical study of living tongues, is itself a dead language, so geology, though it may be admitted to give the key to much that would otherwise be hard to understand in the present economy of things, is, nevertheless, frequently looked upon as essentially the investigation of an extinct past. But this estimate, true so far as it goes, is a signally defective one. Its prevalence, by fostering the love of the marvellous, has probably increased the general interest in geological questions; yet there can be little doubt that, at the same time, it has tended to hinder the progress of sound geology. The great truth cannot be too often or too strongly reiterated, that geology is still, to continue the figure, a living language. Not only does it record the history of the earth and its inhabitants during bygone periods, but it chronicles the life and motions of the world around us now. It is, if one may so speak, the physiology of the earth. The physiologist inquires into the structure and functions of the body: the geologist, in like manner, studies the nature and functions of the different forces that affect the surface or the interior of the crust of the earth. He watches their modes of working, and notes especially the results which they achieve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bibliography of Natural History Travel Narratives written by Anne S. Troelstra and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Troelstra’s fine bibliography is an outstanding and ground-breaking work. He has provided the academic world with a long-needed bibliographical record of human endeavour in the field of the natural sciences. The travel narratives listed here encompass all aspects of the natural world in every part of the globe, but are especially concerned with its fauna, flora and fossil remains. Such eyewitness accounts have always fascinated their readers, but they were never written solely for entertainment: fragmentary though they often are, these narratives of travel and exploration are of immense importance for our scientific understanding of life on earth, providing us with a window on an ever changing, and often vanishing, natural world. Without such records of the past we could not track, document or understand the significance of changes that are so important for the study of zoogeography. With this book Troelstra gives us a superb overview of natural history travel narratives. The well over four thousand detailed entries, ranging over four centuries and all major western European languages, are drawn from a wide range of sources and include both printed books and periodical contributions. While no subject bibliography by a single author can attain absolute completeness, Troelstra’s work is comprehensive to a truly remarkable degree. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author and chronologically, by the year of first publication, under the author’s name. A brief biography, with the scope and range of their work, is given for each author; every title is set in context, the contents – including illustrations – are described and all known editions and translations are cited. In addition, there is a geographical index that cross refers between authors and the regions visited, and a full list of the bibliographical and biographical sources used in compiling the bibliography.

Download or read book Life Mapping as Cultural Legacy written by I-Chun Wang and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume celebrates a fascinating variety of nonfiction known as life writing. This genre resonates quintessentially with the core of the humanities in its profoundly individual ways of fusing narrators with their narrative subjects. The book brings together scholars from around the world to explore the personal mapping of such narrators in the context of their cultural legacies. The hybrid fusions themselves form several subgenres that complement each other as they affirm human dignity and values and our need for human connection, felt at all times, but especially during times of globally met threats. The ever-expanding forms of hybridography here—along with testimonies, diaries, letters and journals—bear witness to how individuals have contrived to overcome their own traumatic sources of pain and suffering to discover joy and how to further map their pathways forward. The narratives not only communicate important information and aesthetic beauty needed to prolong troubled lives due to social anxiety or mental illness, but also challenge sociocultural issues involving stigma, migration, racial discrimination and persecution, human trafficking, and ecological concerns. Global in scope, personal in focus, and historically and culturally contextualized, the analyses provided here once again illustrate how much we have to learn from each other.
