Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of James Dwight Dana: Scientific Explorer, Mineralogist, Geologist, Zoologist, Professor in Yale University Five phrases upon the title-page give a summary of this memoir. Professor Dana dwelt long upon the high seas, on their shores and islands and among their primitive inhabitants, so that he might be called an oceanographer or ocean-explorer; his distinction as a naturalist was gained in three great fields; and his career, from beginning to end, was identified with Yale College. In preparing the biography, which is personal rather than scientific, the subject of it is his own interpreter, and wherever his language could be introduced, or that of his correspondents, I have preferred to quote rather than to condense or rewrite what they have said. At the same time, I trust that sufficient explanations have been given to show the conditions under which the writers spoke. The task of a biographer fell to me by the confidence of Professor Dana's family, who remembered that for a considerable period while living in New Haven, as a pupil, neighbor, and friend, I knew him intimately. To Mrs. Dana the reader is indebted for the care with which she has saved and brought together the memorials of her husband's life and correspondence, and for the readiness with which she has consented to their publication. To Professor Edward S. Dana, his father's colleague in the University and in editing the American Journal of Science, special acknowledgments are also due. Free use has been made of the admirable and appreciative sketch of his father's career which appeared in 1894.

Book excerpt: Scientists and Swindlers introduces us to a new service of professionals: the consulting scientists. Lucier follows these entrepreneurial men of science on their wide-ranging commercial engagements from the shores of Nova Scotia to the coast of California and shows how their innovative work fueled the rapid growth of the American coal and oil industries and the rise of American geology and chemistry. Along the way, he explores the decisive battles over expertise and authority, the high-stakes court cases over patenting research, the intriguing and often humorous exploits of swindlers, and the profound ethical challenges of doing science for money. --from publisher description.

Download or read book The Great Ocean written by David Igler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific of the early eighteenth century was not a single ocean but a vast and varied waterscape, a place of baffling complexity, with 25,000 islands and seemingly endless continental shorelines. But with the voyages of Captain James Cook, global attention turned to the Pacific, and European and American dreams of scientific exploration, trade, and empire grew dramatically. By the time of the California gold rush, the Pacific's many shores were fully integrated into world markets-and world consciousness. The Great Ocean draws on hundreds of documented voyages--some painstakingly recorded by participants, some only known by archeological remains or indigenous memory--as a window into the commercial, cultural, and ecological upheavals following Cook's exploits, focusing in particular on the eastern Pacific in the decades between the 1770s and the 1840s. Beginning with the expansion of trade as seen via the travels of William Shaler, captain of the American Brig Lelia Byrd, historian David Igler uncovers a world where voyagers, traders, hunters, and native peoples met one another in episodes often marked by violence and tragedy. Igler describes how indigenous communities struggled against introduced diseases that cut through the heart of their communities; how the ordeal of Russian Timofei Tarakanov typified the common practice of taking hostages and prisoners; how Mary Brewster witnessed first-hand the bloody "great hunt" that decimated otters, seals, and whales; how Adelbert von Chamisso scoured the region, carefully compiling his notes on natural history; and how James Dwight Dana rivaled Charles Darwin in his pursuit of knowledge on a global scale. These stories--and the historical themes that tie them together--offer a fresh perspective on the oceanic worlds of the eastern Pacific. Ambitious and broadly conceived, The Great Ocean is the first book to weave together American, oceanic, and world history in a path-breaking portrait of the Pacific world.
